404 for some assets after installing from git repo

[jgbarah]

I've installed from the git repo. Everything seems to go smoothly until I launch the server. But then, some JavaScript and CSS assets seem to be missing.

The procedure for installation (in a Python virtualenv of its own) was the one described in installation docs:

git clone https://github.com/airbnb/caravel.git
cd caravel
pip install -e .
fabmanager create-admin --app caravel
caravel db upgrade
caravel init
caravel load_examples
caravel runserver -d

After this, I see in the browser (pointed to http://localhost:8088 ) the login page. I log in with the admin account, and that's when I see 404 errors in the runserver log:

Any hint?

Note: I'm trying to install from the git repo because I had the problem with cryptography versions that prevented me from just pip install caravel.

Oooops. I guess I could solve it. I followed the instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md for creating the assets, and now it seems to work (no more 404, everything is a nice 200 now):

cd caravel/assets/
npm install
npm run prod
caravel runserver -d

And again, pointing the browser to http://localhost:8088, now works!

Therefore, I'm closing this one. Sorry for the noise.
