[QUESTION] Should not found files not raise an error while executing collectstatic

[Schwankenson]

When executing collectstatic django-pipeline does not raise an error if a file defined in PIPELINE config is not found. Is this on purpose? Do I miss a settings? I would like to get an error if file which should be compiled does not exist.

Currently, Django-pipeline doesn't raise any error when files don't exist.

@peymanslh Thank you, I know. The question is: Why does it not raise an error. I find it hard to debug my file locations without it throwing an error. Should it not raise an error, at least in debug mode?

[peymanslh]

The problem is pipeline doesn't work in debug mode, but it could be implemented as a feature with a flag in settings to throw an error when a file is not found. But as far as I know, it could be hard to implement!
