ValueError: Missing staticfiles manifest entry for 'favicon.ico'

I'm getting a ValueError when running python manage.py test. My project is named fellow_go, and I'm currently working on an App called pickup.

Please note that this error is added in a relatively recent commit to Django: Fixed #24452 -- Fixed HashedFilesMixin correctness with nested paths..

Any I do have a favicon.ico file:

Strangely, no errors occur with python manage.py runserver:

Try running:

python manage.py collectstatic

Does the test work now? If so, this might be the configuration causing a problem:

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.django.GzipManifestStaticFilesStorage'

as of whitenoise v4 this will fail and you should use:

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
