Re: [Rdo-list] Developing Horizon dashboards with RDO
OpenStack dashboards are installed in /usr/share/openstack-dashboard. Since
this directory also contains the manage.py script I wanted to see if it is
possible to use it for development of new plugins. I started the server
(along with the actual Horizon) using:
sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8888
When I navigated to http://host:8888/ I got the dashboard but without any
style (see http://imgur.com/EKS1PIQ). When I restart the httpd, it is
properly refreshed, but it is a bit cumbersome to develop and debug the
plugin with this approach.
I resolved it as Kevin suggested by cloning another copy of Horizon and
working with it there.
Thanks,
-Gregor

What do you mean by 'static resources are missing'?
httpd restart runs collectstatic and also runs compress. That means, if
your dashboard is added via plugin, it should be picked up automatically.
