We have a legacy Django-webpack app using Django webpack loader. The app code moved into a /app directory and the render_bundle stopped working. The error message is
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/webpack_loader/templatetags/webpack_loader.py", line 22, in render_bundle
tags = utils.get_as_tags(

I hard-coded our STATICS_URL to try to match the documentation on django-webpack-loader DJANGO STATICS_URL: /app/static/dist/ WEBPACK PATH(output.path): /app/static/dist
WEBPACK_LOADER Code:
BASE_DIR = "/app"
STATIC_URL = "/app/static/dist/"
STATIC_ROOT = Path(BASE_DIR, "public")
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
Path(BASE_DIR, "static"),
Path(BASE_DIR, "static", "dist"),
]
WEBPACK_LOADER = {"DEFAULT": {"CACHE": not DEBUG}}
Code that triggers the error:
{% render_bundle 'app' %} inside a index.html
