I've looked at similar questions regarding this error setting up channels messaging with Django. I have tried upgrading Django and Channels and changing the requirements.txt file.

"Cannot find %r in ASGI_APPLICATION module %s" % (name, path)

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Cannot find 'app' in ASGI_APPLICATION module <MyApp>.routing

my routing config is as per the tutorial in mysite/routing

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({

# (http->django views is added by default)

'websocket': AuthMiddlewareStack(

    URLRouter(

        chat.routing.websocket_urlpatterns

    )

  ),

})

and the import statement that is supposed to just be simply

import chat.routing

is not being recognized as the tutorial states it should be in my IDE.

my directory structure is exactly per the tutorial as well

with setting config

INSTALLED_APPS = [

'channels',

'chat',

'django.contrib.admin',

'django.contrib.auth',

'django.contrib.contenttypes',

'django.contrib.sessions',

'django.contrib.messages',

'django.contrib.staticfiles',

]

and

ASGI_APPLICATION = 'chat.routing.application'

Thanks

Pretty sure this was the problem. Needed to add this asgi.py file next to wsgi.py

import os

import django



from channels.routing import get_default_application



os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "<myproj>.settings")

django.setup()

application = get_default_application()

and start server with

(vEnv)$daphne <myproj>.asgi:application --port 8888
