Django==4.0.5 this
Ahhh… this appears to be a known issue.
You can probably try the work-around documented there, or you could try upgrading to Channels 4 and related projects.
It worked for me just to put LANGUAGE_SESSION_KEY = '_language' at the top of channels/auth.py as a workaround. Everything else is working fine for me on django master.
but where is channels/auth.py
Location is as referenced in the error message:
I have the same error

Note what the workaround says:
(Emphasis added)
The variable needs to be defined before the import so that it is available in the imported module.
@KenWhitesell is it good like that?
I did that but I still have a mistake
@KenWhitesell I put in comment the from django.utils.translation import LANGUAGE_SESSION_KEY, I don’t have the error but when I print the user it puts me AnonymousUser I added self.user = self.scope["user"] and print(self.user )
That’s saying that there isn’t an authenticated user making the websocket connection.
Are you logging on to your Django site before opening the websocket?
yes, of course, i log in
But is that happening before you load a page containing the JavaScript that is opening the websocket?
when I load my page, in my server i have AnonymousUser
I understand that.
I’m asking about the sequence of events.
Are you opening the websocket before logging in to the site? This can happen if the JavaScript that you are using to open the websocket appears on the login page itself.
I tried without logging in but it put AnonymousUser, then I tried again while logged in and it still put AnonymousUser
What specifically did you try? Please provide all the details of exactly what you did that created these results.
I must have forgotten something in the code, can I show you everything?
