A 500 error means you have a problem in your Django code - look at the console that is running runserver to see what it is and fix it. It's not a Channels-specific problem.

Hola! Estuve siguiendo el tutorial y también tuve el mismo error.. En Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Lo solucioné haciendo la instalación de redis:

sudo apt install redis-server

Ya qué en la sección de pruebas arrojaba error cuando ejecutaba en la shell de Django:

>> async_to_sync(channel_layer.receive)('test_channel')

Luego que hice la instalación de redis el ejemplo se ejecutó con éxito.

@JesusD2405 's solution also works..but as for me it was much simpler, I has forgotten to run the redis server!

So first check if the redis server is running

@deftydev @Ubaid-Parvaiz its been a while since you guys asked, but it turned out the issue was:

consumers.ChatRoomConsumer

in chat/routing.py was supposed to be:

consumers.ChatRoomConsumer.as_asgi()
