Error: No asset bundles were found. If you are defining assets directly within your templates, you want to use the --parse-templates option. about webassets

by REGISTRY i meant the underscore_REGISTRY var. The markdown ate it up.

Hm, that is strange. It kind of sounds like django_assets is loaded twice.

Traditinally, a problem Django has is that it makes modules importable both by app name and by project name. So, you could import for example your models file both as "import project.app.models" and "import app.models".

Python will consider those two different module instances, with different globals etc. As a result, it would be possible for you to have your assets.py file loaded twice, and your assets register calls ran a second time (which would through an error).

Except in this case, it would be not your own project modules, but the django-assets.registry namespace that is affected, for some reason. Do you have the django-assets source code copied into your project tree, possibly?

Try to put print statements into the django_assets/registry.py file along the lines of:

import sys, traceback
print "Importing %s, %s" % (__name__, sys.modules[__name__])
print id(sys.modules[__name__])
traceback.print_stack()

And see if that gets executed multiple times.

Thanks, i'll look into it. Then is there a way to make variables cross module global. I searched and found some people using builtins, but not sure that's a clean solution.

[miracle2k]

builtins would work, but it is definitely not an acceptable workaround IMO.

The problem shouldn't appear in the first place.

I'll presume the problem hasn't reappeared. If so, feel free to reopen the ticket.
