I've been trying to get django-pipeline to work to combine and minify my css and js assets. I don't seem to be able to sort the following issue out. When I run:
python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
I get an error:
pipeline.exceptions.CompressorError: The system cannot find the path specified.
Do I maybe need to install some additional packages? If so, how?
My settings for django-pipeline:
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineCachedStorage'
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
'pipeline.finders.PipelineFinder',
)
PIPELINE_CSS = {
'testme': {
'source_filenames': {
'static/surveys/css/main.css',
},
'output_filename': 'css/testme.css',
},
}
PIPELINE_JS = {
'testmejs': {
'source_filenames': {
'surveys/js/gklib.js',
},
'output_filename': 'surveys/js/testmejs.css',
},
}
PIPELINE_ENABLED = True
This is the complete output:

UPDATE
I've tried it again using another compressor:
PIPELINE_CSS_COMPRESSOR = 'pipeline.compressors.csstidy.CSSTidyCompressor'
This gives the exact same result, what could I be doing wrong?
UPDATE 2
If I set the compressors to None everything works, i.e. the files get combined and placed in the static files folder. They are also served correctly.
PIPELINE_CSS_COMPRESSOR = None
PIPELINE_JS_COMPRESSOR = None
So it must be something either in accessing or using the compressors. I'm running on Windows.
UPDATE 3
I've added some print() commands to init.py in /site-packages/pipeline/compressors/
class SubProcessCompressor(CompressorBase):
def execute_command(self, command, content):
import subprocess
print("Command: " + command)
The command is: /usr/bin/env/ yuglify --type=css --terminal Which can (probably?) never work on Windows.
I've then tried to deploy it to AWS Elastic Beanstalk, but I get an error then as well:
INFO: Environment update is starting.
INFO: Deploying new version to instance(s).
ERROR: [Instance: i-75dc5e91 Module: AWSEBAutoScalingGroup ConfigSet: null] Command failed on instance. Return code: 1 Output: [CMD-AppDeploy/AppDeployStage0/EbExtensionPostBuild] command failed with error code 1: Error occurred during build: Command 01_collectstatic failed.

ERROR: Update environment operation is complete, but with errors. For more information, see troubleshooting documentation.
ERROR: Update environment operation is complete, but with errors. For more information, see troubleshooting documentation.
I know it's possible to manually set the location of the compressors bin, but where to set it for Elastic Beanstalk?
Any suggestions how to sort this out?
