Build assets for local/prod from dev in Tutor

Site Operators Tutor Help

Hi,
We created a edx-platform fork and mounted it according to Open edX development — Tutor documentation instructions. It contains various modifications and also includes additional assets (images, css, js) in the lms/static folder. Everything works good in dev however in local/prod assets are missing.
How can we build assets which we created in local/prod so they work exactly the same in local/prod as in dev?
Thanks

Did you rebuild the openedx Docker image with tutor images build openedx?

Hi,
When I try to run that command I am getting exception:

I managed to solve it by manually copying my resources to tutor_local-lms-1 container to staticassets folder, however this is not good long term solution.

Thanks

Something is wrong with your theme. You need to figure out what.

Hi, actually I am not using a theme in themes folder, but rather changing the fork directly. I even deleted all custom themes from the themes folder and I still get the error. If by the theme you mean my changes to the fork, if I copy the assets to staticfiles folder my changes work just fine and there are no errors or issues in the UI.
I am now trying to setup debugger in vscode to be able to somehow trigger a breakpoint there, but not sure how easy will it be.
Thanks for your help, will update here if I figure out anything.
