On an issue between consumer and worker

Using Django Async/Channels
21

Ken, I see I am using python 3.12.11 and channels-redis 4.3.0.

A bit surprising that the redis version is only 4.3.0: I installed it recently.

22

Okay, the newest version of channels-redis is 4.3.0, it contains redis 7.1.0, that is the confusion there.

23

This is the wrong target for runworker.

You have:

which means you should have:

$ uv run manage.py runworker print-consumer

Review the docs for Receiving and Consumers at Worker and Background Tasks ā€” Channels 4.3.2 documentation

Happy to report that was the issue! Wow, so frustrating but good to finally find it. If you have a moment, maybe you could explain the following.

PS C:\Users\Brian Ketelboeter\Roshambo\roshambo> uv venv --python 3.13

Why is the shell still running python 3.12.11 when I tried to change the version to 3.13?

I donā€™t use uv, I donā€™t use PowerShell, and I donā€™t do any Python development on Windows. Sorry, I canā€™t help you here.

No problem. Thanks for all your time.
