Loading Django Admin's assets partially

[beltekylevi]

• Django version: 2.1.7
• Python version: 3.7.6
• Operating System: macOS / Ubuntu 18.04 (Heroku-18)

Description

Describe what you were trying to get done. Tell us what happened, what went wrong, and what you expected to happen.

I have a Django application in which I'd like to serve my SPA, bootstrapped with Create React App. In production the application is served by daphne. (version 2.2.5)

I followed the guide provided and the SPA is served well but in Django Admin I noticed that the assets are not loading properly. Most noticeably, missing icons and fonts.

I did not experience any missing resources. All resources were properly loaded.

What I Did

• Looked into what is served and I noticed that /static/admin/css/base.[hash].css was missing the icons
• Did the installation process step-by-step and checked when this weird behaviour starts
• Figured out that it has to do something with the STATICFILES_STORAGE because when I change it from 'spa.storage.SPAStaticFilesStorage' to'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage' the admin assets were loaded

python manage.py collectstatic --clear --noinput
daphne -b 0.0.0.0 -p 1234 boshi.asgi:application

Let me know if I can help.
