We created a patch for until a fix comes out:

# django.js monkey patch
# https://github.com/noirbizarre/django.js/issues/53
# settings not found in request context
try:
    from django.conf import settings
    from djangojs.context_serializer import ContextSerializer

    def _as_dict(self):
        data = self._as_dict()
        data.update({
            'STATIC_URL': settings.STATIC_URL,
            'MEDIA_URL': settings.MEDIA_URL,
            'LANGUAGES': settings.LANGUAGES,
            'LANGUAGE_CODE': settings.LANGUAGE_CODE,
        })
        return data

    ContextSerializer._as_dict = ContextSerializer.as_dict
    ContextSerializer.as_dict = _as_dict
except:
    pass

It lacks everything related to languages however.

Hi,
I'm having this issue on Django 1.8. But i'm not really understanding and been able to figure out where this monkey patch should go.

My workaround was to include manually the script tags, for now...

You can add the monkey patch pretty much anywhere (urls, views etc). Would also like to see a proper fix for this. Any ideas?

I'm not sure what I see is the same as yours.

Since I only needed context data in JsInitData, I overrode the ContextSerializer's as_data to include what I included using context_processors in the past and removed them from the context proccesors list.

settings.JS_CONTEXT_PROCESSOR

    def as_dict(self):
        data = super(CustomContextSerializer, self).as_dict()

        data.update(site_common_settings(self.request))
        data.update(annoter_settings(self.request))

        return data
