The STATICFILES_DIRS setting is not a tuple or list. Eventhough it did not contain a comma

Question

HI I am new to static files but I got this error called STATICFILES_DIRS setting is not a tuple or list. Which I do not understand as it is does not contain any commas. I hope someone can help me. Yes, I have imported os.
Traceback:

ERRORS:
?: (staticfiles.E001) The STATICFILES_DIRS setting is not a tuple or list.
        HINT: Perhaps you forgot a trailing comma?

settings.py:

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
]


STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '')
    )

Thanks to @fsimonjetz for helping me answer this question I changed this:

STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '')

)

to

 STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ''),)

For people who didn’t understand why this error still shown even the location of directory is exist and clear.

Django asks for the STATICFILES_DIRS to be on tuple or list structure because is expecting many directories as value, so it’s not efficient to assign only string to STATICFILES_DIRS

So we need to put this direcory on [] or ().
