How to write a script that does collectstatic for django

Question

I want to do an automatic collectstatic script for my django application. I tried various things but it did not work. My last attempt is to call an expect script within a normal script:

collectstatic.sh:

python manage.py collectstatic --settings=app.settings_mark &&
./testscript.sh

testscript.sh:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn testscript.sh
expect "Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel:"
send "yes"

However, the line ./testscript.sh get never executed because the collectstatic command before is waiting for input. How can I skip that ? I also tried leaving out the && but it didn't work.

Thanks in advance !

no cause it is clearly a shell script question, all the others questions regarding shell/bash are on askubuntu as well, thanks for watching though ! — Paul Bernhard Wagner, Nov 29 '15 at 05:56

Why not just send yes to the input of manage.py:

python manage.py collectstatic --settings=app.settings_mark <<<yes &&
./testscript.sh

Or:

echo yes | python manage.py collectstatic --settings=app.settings_mark &&
./testscript.sh

You can accomplish the same thing with the noinput arg: manage.py collectstatic --noinput http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8705305/automated-django-receive-hook-on-server-respond-to-collectstatic-with-yes – ptevans Nov 04 '16 at 00:34
