Do you have django-jinja in your Django 1.8 project to help you with your Jinja2 integration, and you use django-pipeline for your static assets?
If so, you need to tie them together by passing pipeline.templatetags.ext.PipelineExtension
"to your Jinja2 environment". But how? Here's how:
# in your settings.py
from django_jinja.builtins import DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django_jinja.backend.Jinja2',
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'match_extension': '.jinja',
'context_processors': [
...
],
'extensions': DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS + [
'pipeline.templatetags.ext.PipelineExtension',
],
}
},
...
Now, in your template you simply use the {% stylesheet '...' %}
or {% javascript '...' %}
tags in your .jinja
templates without the {% load pipeline %}
stuff.
It took me a little while to figure that out so I hope it helps someone else googling around for a solution alike.

Why you are using django_jinja when there is built in support for jinja2 template from django 1.8+?
I honestly can't remember now. The documentation lists its features: http://niwinz.github.io/django-jinja/
The reason I use it is because I built my project from Sugardough https://github.com/mozilla/sugardough which is the Mozilla Django best practice project.
