Collectstatic fails on django 2.1.1

[nawilliams]

I'm getting the following error when I run collectstatic using this package along with django 2.1.1 and whitenoise 4.1

$ python manage.py collectstatic

Post-processing 'fonts/font_awesome/font-awesome.min.css' failed!

whitenoise.storage.MissingFileError: The file 'fonts/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot' could not be found with <whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage object at 0x7ff60f51eda0>.

The CSS file 'fonts/font_awesome/font-awesome.min.css' references a file which could not be found:
  fonts/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot

Please check the URL references in this CSS file, particularly any
relative paths which might be pointing to the wrong location.

If I had to guess the relative paths in a bunch of the files aren't correct. I ended up adding the source files for tabler to my repo and ran into the same issue in the iconfonts plugin css file, which I fixed by changing a number of paths.

hello how did you fix the paths. I have the same problems for weeks and don't know how to fix it.Thanks

I straight deleted this django plugin and manually installed tabler. I can't tell you exactly how as this was over a year ago but here are the related commits. There were some additional issues I remember having with the tabler asset paths for getting the included javascript packages to work. Sorry I can't help more, I haven't touched django since then.
