Experimenting with Channels: sending messages from Django shell doesn't work

[Joshua Gardner]

I'm in the process of developing a Websockets notifications system using Channels. I've got a JsonWebsocketConsumer that adds the connection to a group for the Location (model) that the user belongs to. Connecting to that websocket with wscat, and trying to see if sending to that group works, I do Group(location.group_name).send({'text': '"some json"'}) within the Django shell. I am using the Redis channels backend. Even so, nothing is sent to the connected group. I even try sending to the reply_channel of the websocket connection from within the shell, and nothing is sent.

Do channels not work in the Django shell, or is something else possibly broken?

I'm going to answer my own question:

Appears that I need to use the "immediately" keyword are to Channel or Group.send.

Hi Joshua,

This was actually a bug that was fixed in 1.0.2 - were you on an older version? If not, I'd like to make sure the bug didn't somehow reappear!
