| 1181432624 | I_kwDOBm6k_c5Gazsw | 1688 | [plugins][documentation] Is it possible to serve per-plugin static folders when writing one-off (single file) plugins? | 9020979 | closed | 0 | 3 | 2022-03-26T01:17:44Z | 2022-03-27T01:01:14Z | 2022-03-26T21:34:47Z | NONE | I'm trying to make a small plugin that depends on static assets, by following the guide [here](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/writing_plugins.html#writing-one-off-plugins). I made a `plugins/` directory with `datasette_nteract_data_explorer.py`. I am trying to follow the example of `datasette_vega`, and serving static assets. I created a `statics/` directory within `plugins/` to serve my JS and CSS. https://github.com/simonw/datasette-vega/blob/00de059ab1ef77394ba9f9547abfacf966c479c4/datasette_vega/__init__.py#L13 Unfortunately, datasette doesn't seem to be able to find my assets. Input: ```bash datasette ~/Library/Safari/History.db --plugins-dir=plugins/ ```  Output:  I suspect this issue might go away if I move away from "one-off" plugin mode, but it's been a while since I created a new python package so I'm not sure how much work there is to go between "one off" and "packaged for PyPI". I'd like to try to avoid needing to repackage a new `tar.gz` file and or reinstall my library repeatedly when developing new python code. 1. Is there a way to serve a static assets when using the `plugins/` directory method instead of installing plugins as a new python package? 2. If not, is there a way I can work on developing a plugin without creating and repackaging tar.gz files after every change, or is that the recommended path?
