Well, I did it. I frankensteined my way to a working Django 3.0+ and Channels 3.0 demo project! Here is where I went. I started at: https://testdriven.io/blog/django-channels/#add-channels. I cannot stress this enough, I started at the add-channels section! During my time in following the instructions, I had to install Redis from source and I found those instructions at: https://realpython.com/python-redis/ Once I was done installing from source, I was back to following the first URL's instructions. I figured out that I had to start the redis server with redis-server command. This is how you are able to complete the below commands. This is where I stopped following the instructions from the first URL. >>> import channels.layers >>> channel_layer = channels.layers.get_channel_layer() >>> from asgiref.sync import async_to_sync >>> async_to_sync(channel_layer.send)('test_channel', {'type': 'hello'}) >>> async_to_sync(channel_layer.receive)('test_channel') {'type': 'hello'}
I finished things off with the YouTube video of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4-XRK6NqMA&t. That is the best I can do you right now. My brain is mush.
