Re: Django Channels 2.0.0 groups

That's what I did after reading the documentation here's how my channels files look like

# settings.py

# ...

ASGI_APPLICATION = 'djangoChannels.routing.application'

# ...

# routing.py

from django.conf.urls import url

from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter, URLRouter

from channels.auth import AuthMiddlewareStack

from .consumers import ChatConsumer

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({

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

   'websocket': AuthMiddlewareStack(

       URLRouter([

           url('^sessions/$', ChatConsumer)

       ])

   )

})

# consumers.py

from asgiref.sync import AsyncToSync

from channels.generic.websocket import WebsocketConsumer

class ChatConsumer(WebsocketConsumer):

    def connect(self):

       AsyncToSync(self.channel_layer.group_add)("chat", self.channel_name)

    def disconnect(self):

       AsyncToSync(self.channel_layer.group_discard)("chat", self.channel_name)

After connecting with JS websocket to

ws://127.0.0.1:8000/sessions/

Raises an exception

Hi Ahmed,

In the new release channel layers are optional - if you don't configure them they will indeed come through as None. The settings format changed slightly too - you can read more here: http://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/channel_layers.html

I'm relatively new to channels and was using Channels v1.x.x groups easily, but after v2.0.0 update and reading the documentation

from asgiref.sync import AsyncToSync

class ChatConsumer(WebsocketConsumer):

    def connect(self):
        AsyncToSync(self.channel_layer.group_add)("chat", self.channel_name)

    def disconnect(self):
        AsyncToSync(self.channel_layer.group_discard)("chat", self.channel_name)

Enter code here...

channel_layer, channel_name are always NoneType and exception occurs.

Is that because I didn't configure channel layers? But in the old version I also used the in memory type and Groups were working well.
