Comment (by fishfin):
I removed the name.
{{{
from django.contrib.staticfiles.apps import StaticFilesConfig
class MyappConfig(StaticFilesConfig):
# StaticFilesConfig.name = "django.contrib.staticfiles"
ignore_patterns = ["testpattern"]
}}}
Works fine.
I missed a number of things here: INSTALLED_APPS can point to a specific
AppConfig class, which in turn may have a name, which is the app Django
loads. This also loads the management commands in
`django.contrib.staticfiles`, so no overrides of commands were required. I
removed `myapp` as there's no need create one just for staticfiles
commands now, just shifted the overriding class to a file in myproj, and
changed settings.INSTALLED_APPS likewise.
Thank you.
