Fail when packing an external resource
golyalpha opened this issue · comments
When trying to pack an external resource (i.e., resource not hosted on the same file system), webassets tries to cope, but eventually fails with:
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, bytes found

Experienced this same issue. Thank you so much @golyalpha for pointing out! Was about to pull my hair out.
Workaround for anyone who come across the same issue: download the file to a local directory.
To note: remote file downloads seems to have used to work before but doesn't in latest 0.12.1 version. 🤔
@DavidLemayian Do you know what release were they working on?
This seems to be working ok in release 2.0. I was using 0.12.1, had the problem, then found this issue when searching for the solution. I upgraded, then all seemed fine.
