I've managed to get my applications to compile, but anytime it references a static file I receive a 404 error on my javascript files. I verified they do exist in the dist application.
My application structure is setup as the following:
I've added my static files to the datas of the .spec file as shown below:
# -*- mode: python -*-
block_cipher = None
a = Analysis(['manage.py'],
pathex=['C:\\python\\dsssecurity'],
binaries=[],
datas=[('mysite/static','static_root'),('mysite/search/templates','mysite/templates')],
hiddenimports=['django_select2.apps','django.contrib.admin.apps','django.contrib.auth.apps','django.contrib.contenttypes.apps','django.contrib.sessions.apps','django.contrib.messages.apps','django.contrib.staticfiles.apps','django_filters.apps','widget_tweaks.apps','django.contrib.messages.middleware.apps','django.template.loaders.apps'],
hookspath=['C:/Python/dsssecurity'],
runtime_hooks=[],
excludes=[],
win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
win_private_assemblies=False,
cipher=block_cipher)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(pyz,
a.scripts,
exclude_binaries=True,
name='dsssecurity',
debug=False,
strip=False,
upx=True,
console=True )
coll = COLLECT(exe,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
strip=False,
upx=True,
name='dsssecurity')
I've also added the static settings to my mysite > search > urls.py as shown below:
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin
from . import views
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^results/$', views.results, name='results'),
url(r'^submitted/$', views.submitted, name='submitted'),
url(r'^update/$', views.update, name='update'),
url(r'^submittedupdate/$', views.submittedupdate, name='submittedupdate'),
] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
my output of the console shows:

I've followed instructions shown here:
Location of static files when creating a Django exe using pyinstaller
and
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/2348
My static_url and staticfiles_dirs in settings is defined as:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'mysite/static'),
)
My application works fine when running manage.py stand alone. What am I missing to get my static files to be recognized in my pyinstaller executable?
