I'm currently building a website using Django and I've noticed that whenever I execute python manage.py runserver
the CSS and Javascript isn't working at all. The HTML is working perfectly but somehow the CSS and JS doesn't get recognized at all.
However, when I open the HTML file, the CSS and JS works perfectly, so there is nothing wrong with the CSS and JS files. Somehow it doesn't get recognized when I run the server from python.
Is there a reason for this?
Here is some code:
Views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
import json
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
from chatterbot import ChatBot
# Create your views here.
chatbot = ChatBot(
'Ron Obvious',
trainer='chatterbot.trainers.ChatterBotCorpusTrainer'
)
@csrf_exempt
def get_response(request):
response = {'status': None}
if request.method == 'POST':
data = json.loads(request.body.decode('utf-8'))
message = data['message']
chat_response = chatbot.get_response(message).text
response['message'] = {'text': chat_response, 'user': False, 'chat_bot': True}
response['status'] = 'ok'
else:
response['error'] = 'no post data found'
return HttpResponse(
json.dumps(response),
content_type="application/json"
)
def Index (request):
context = {'title': 'Chatbot Version 1.0'}
return render(request, "AI.html", context)
Settings.py
import os
# Build paths inside the project like this: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
project_root = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
STATIC_DIRS = (
os.path.join(project_root, 'static'),
)
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',

ROOT_URLCONF = 'MySite.urls'
TEMPLATES = [

},
},
]

Here is how the maps are organized
I get the following error message in devtools:
Refused to apply style from 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/MySite/MySite/static/css/AI.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.
