I receive a Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) for the javascript file. The page loads fine but the javascript resource isn't obtained despite being in the same static folder as the css file which django has no trouble collecting.
settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
#STATIC_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), 'static'))
STATIC_ROOT = 'static/'
STATIC_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIR=[STATIC_DIR]
