Source map line in jsoneditor.min.js makes collectstatic fail

• django-json-widget version: 1.1.1
• Django version: 4.0
• Python version: 3.8.10
• Operating System: linux ubuntu (in docker)

Description

When running python manage.py collectstatic with whitenoise 5.3.0, I get the following error:

es/management/commands/collectstatic.py", line 134, in collect
remote:            raise processed
remote:        whitenoise.storage.MissingFileError: The file 'dist/jsoneditor.map' could not be found with <whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage object at 0x7f260dc431f0>.
remote:        The JS file 'dist/jsoneditor.min.js' references a file which could not be found:
remote:          dist/jsoneditor.map

it seems it’s because of the source map bit. When we removed the last line https://github.com/jmrivas86/django-json-widget/blob/master/django_json_widget/static/dist/jsoneditor.min.js#L46 , it works.

I actually found a way to deal with this issue, if anyone ever comes here again. He asks for a file which he does not use, so I decided to just put the file where he expects it and it worked like a charm. I am building my project with a Dockerfile, so I just added there

COPY random/jsoneditor.map /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django_json_widget/static/dist

the file may be empty. It is not the prettiest solution, but it does work. Hope it helps someone else.

It’s so terrible, I love it.

Here’s a one-liner to do the same thing.

python -c "import django_json_widget as _; from pathlib import Path; p=Path(_.__path__[0]) / 'static' / 'dist' / 'jsoneditor.map'; p.touch()"

This accounts for different package installation paths and whatnot…I use it in CI/CD environment.

Really someone needs to submit a PR to fix this. However, @jmrivas86 hasn’t been active on GH in many months and his website doesn’t work, so not sure if we can expect a PR to get merged. Failing that someone will have to fork…
