I know this question has been answered a lot but I can't seem to work this out. My static files are there, at the location I've told django they are. Debug is set to True, and static_url is set to '/static/' but the static files are 404ing.
development(settings).py
DEBUG = True
logger.info(f"Debug is {DEBUG}")
STATIC_URL = "/static/"
STATIC_ROOT = "/home/phillyharper/dask/static"
logger.info(STATIC_ROOT)
Running python manage.py runserver using these settings produces this result:
2021-05-09 07:17:03.197 | INFO | dask.settings.development:<module>:4 - Debug is True
2021-05-09 07:17:03.197 | INFO | dask.settings.development:<module>:47 - Debug is True

However, when I click onto the page - none of the static files load. They all 404, giving this:~

I found another thread which said use findstatic. I tried that but it shows that Django only seems to be looking inside my virtual env for static, and its not trying at the location of STATIC_ROOT. Even though findstatic doesn't find it, I can confirm the css file below does exist.
/home/phillyharper/dask/static/src/assets/css/app.css
>> python manage.py findstatic --verbosity 2 src/assets/css/app.css
No matching file found for 'src/assets/css/app.css'.
Looking in the following locations:
/home/phillyharper/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/django_signally-JCl81_Vu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static
/home/phillyharper/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/django_signally-JCl81_Vu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django_extensions/static
This is my django project structure, running on WSL2.
