Pycharm Can not find the reference to external javascript and css files

Question

I am not able to locate my external javascript and css files when I ctrl click their path string.

My html template path is 'bodhitree-flipped/concept/templates/concept/content_developer.html'. And my external video.js file path is 'bodhitree-flipped/video/static/video-js/video.js'.

Any Idea how I make pycharm to locate my js files? I know the solution for this is to run python manage.py collectstatic command which will copy all my asset files to /staticfiles folder but I don't want to do it as it will increase the size of my project by duplicating all the static files.

I tried rebuiding the file index with option under File->invalidate caches/Restart... but unfortunately this also doesn't work.

This is how my project structure look like.

click on the file to see code in settings.py

Any help is deeply appreciated.

I'm not at my computer atm so can't remember exactly but if you right click the static directory in the file structure there is an option to set the directory as a content root or something like that.. — Sayse

I have access to my computer, so you can try: Right click -> Mark directory as: -> Resource Root — user4312749

you have your static root file, etc setup in settings correctly? — warath-coder

I don't think we need to change any default settings to enable this feature. — Vikrant Singh

I have just changed the python template language from jinja to Django (settings->languages and framework->python template languages)and then invalidated the file cache. It worked.
