Based on the issue description and traceback, I can understand the problem well enough to create the patch. The issue is: 1. `StaticFilesHandlerMixin` has a `get_response` method that serves static files 2. When using `ASGIStaticFilesHandler`, it needs a `get_response_async` method because ASGI handler calls `get_response_async` 3. The mixin is missing this async method Looking at the traceback: - `django/contrib/staticfiles/handlers.py:86` - ASGIStaticFilesHandler.__call__ - `django/core/handlers/asgi.py:161` - ASGIHandler.__call__ calls `get_response_async` - `django/core/handlers/base.py:148` - BaseHandler.get_response_async calls `_middleware_chain` The fix needs to add a `get_response_async` method to `StaticFilesHandlerMixin` that mirrors the logic of `get_response` but is async. Based on Django's typical structure for static files handlers, here's the patch: --- a/django/contrib/staticfiles/handlers.py +++ b/django/contrib/staticfiles/handlers.py @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ +from urllib.parse import urlparse from urllib.request import url2pathname from django.conf import settings @@ -43,6 +44,19 @@ class StaticFilesHandlerMixin: return response return super().get_response(request) + async def get_response_async(self, request): + try: + return await sync_to_async(self.serve, thread_sensitive=False)(request) + except Http404 as e: + return response_for_exception(request, e) + + async def get_response_async(self, request): + if self._should_handle(request.path): + try: + return await sync_to_async(self.serve, thread_sensitive=False)(request) + except Http404 as e: + return response_for_exception(request, e) + return await super().get_response_async(request) + class StaticFilesHandler(StaticFilesHandlerMixin, WSGIHandler): """ Wait, I need to check the exact structure. Let me think about this more carefully based on the traceback and typical Django patterns. Looking at the traceback again: ``` File ".../src/django/django/contrib/staticfiles/handlers.py", line 86, in __call__ return await super().__call__(scope, receive, send) File ".../src/django/django/core/handlers/asgi.py", line 161, in __call__ response = await self.get_response_async(request) ``` The `ASGIStaticFilesHandler` calls `super().__call__` which goes to `ASGIHandler.__call__`, which calls `self.get_response_async(request)`. The `StaticFilesHandlerMixin` only provides `get_response` but not `get_response_async`. The fix should add `get_response_async` to `StaticFilesHandlerMixin` that mirrors the sync `get_response` method logic. --- a/django/contrib/staticfiles/handlers.py +++ b/django/contrib/staticfiles/handlers.py @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ from urllib.request import url2pathname +from asgiref.sync import sync_to_async from django.conf import settings from django.contrib.staticfiles import utils from django.contrib.staticfiles.views import serve @@ -43,6 +44,13 @@ class StaticFilesHandlerMixin: return response return super().get_response(request) + async def get_response_async(self, request): + if self._should_handle(request.path): + try: + return await sync_to_async(self.serve, thread_sensitive=False)(request) + except Http404 as e: + return response_for_exception(request, e) + return await super().get_response_async(request) + class StaticFilesHandler(StaticFilesHandlerMixin, WSGIHandler): """
