Redirect Loops and 404 with Django Channels and runserver command

[Justin Lee]

I was just trying to integrate channels into an existing django/DRF project and I have been running into an issue where my original urls paths are breaking when I do runserver. My root index view leads to 301 infinite redirects loop and my other app views results in a 404. The Socket server is definitely up as I have tried to do the following in console. It is just the http views + routes that are somehow breaking

var chatSocket = new WebSocket('ws://' + window.location.host + '/');

chatSocket.onmessage = function(e) {

    var data = JSON.parse(e.data);

        var message = data['message'];

console.log(message)

}

chatSocket.send(JSON.stringify({'message': "Hello World"}));

OUTPUT:

VM862:4 Hello World

The app works when I remove "channels" from installed_apps

It also works if I try to run the asgi app through daphne directly

I just want the app to work in django dev runserver

I am using django auth backend with login_required for all my views.

I am fairly new to django and would love some help on this! 

my_app/urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path('users/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('api/', include('api.urls', namespace='api')),
    url(r'^.*', index, name='index'),
]

my_app/routing.py

from channels.auth import AuthMiddlewareStack
from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter, URLRouter
from django.urls import path

from api.consumer import EchoConsumer

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({
    'websocket': AuthMiddlewareStack(
            URLRouter([
                path('', EchoConsumer)
            ])
    )
})
