Pycharm Can not find the reference to external javascript and css files

Question

I am not able to locate my external javascript and css files when I ctrl click their path string.

My html template path is 'bodhitree-flipped/concept/templates/concept/content_developer.html'. And my external video.js file path is 'bodhitree-flipped/video/static/video-js/video.js'.

Any Idea how I make pycharm to locate my js files? I know the solution for this is to run python manage.py collectstatic command which will copy all my asset files to /staticfiles folder but I don't want to do it as it will increase the size of my project by duplicating all the static files.

I tried rebuiding the file index with option under File->invalidate caches/Restart... but unfortunately this also doesn't work.

This is how my project structure look like.

click on the file to see code in settings.py

Any help is deeply appreciated.

I have just changed the python template language from jinja to Django (settings->languages and framework->python template languages)and then invalidated the file cache. It worked.
