AttributeError in ASGI/Daphne Django problem

I had done this tutorial for WebSocket with Django but I have this problem when I execute "python manage.py runserver":

HTTP GET /chat/hello/ 200 [0.01, 127.0.0.1:65009]
WebSocket HANDSHAKING /ws/chat/hello/ [127.0.0.1:65014]

WebSocket DISCONNECT /ws/chat/hello/ [127.0.0.1:65014]

I'm trying with:

1. Django=4.1.2 channels=4.0.0 daphne=4.0.0 python=3.9.10

I've been trying for days to see the error but nothing is wrong, my only guess is that there might be a conflict with the versions of the libraries I'm using.

My problem was easy:

Daphne (locally) works differently on windows than on Ubuntu:

For Ubuntu this configuration is used in the settings.py:

ASGI_APPLICATION = "mysite.asgi.application"
CHANNEL_LAYERS = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "channels_redis.core.RedisChannelLayer",
        "CONFIG": {
            "hosts": [("127.0.0.1", 6379)],
        },
    },
}

But for Windows this configuration is used:

CHANNEL_LAYERS = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "channels.layers.InMemoryChannelLayer"
    },
}

This is because of the way Redis works. However, this shouldn't be the functionality for a production server, I only use it to work locally.

Although it also has to do a lot with the versions that the channels packages work with.

I also solved this by running the following command:

python -m pip install -U channels["daphne"]
