environment

• AWS EC2
• Python 3.6.10
• Django 3.0.4
• Django REST framework (https://www.django-rest-framework.org/)
• Django REST Swagger (https://django-rest-swagger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

Error message

When accessing http: // localhost: 8000 / swagger /, the following error occurs

django.template.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: 'staticfiles' is not a registered tag library. Must be one of:
admin_list
admin_modify
admin_urls
cache
i18n
l10n
log
rest_framework
static
tz

How to solve

#Edit swagger html file
$ sudo vim /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rest_framework_swagger/templates/rest_framework_swagger/index.html

If you don't know the swagger file path, grep it
$ sudo grep -rl "staticfiles" /usr/local/lib

Before:

{% load staticfiles %}

After: Edit the second line to the following content

{% load static %}

Access http: // localhost: 8000 / swagger / again to connect. Caused by the removal of'staticfiles' in Django3.0.
