Channel Layer's group_send() Not Working When Called From Django View about channels HOT 3 OPEN

That looks like it should be working at first glance. You'll need to dig-in here: can you debug the group send call? What's not working? (Do you have a Redis connection? Is anything posted? Is the event loop running, etc.)

There's not enough here for me to say anything more concrete I'm afraid.

@carltongibson For more clarification there is a Redis connection when getting the channel_layer. However, I cannot retrieve the event loop (states that one doesn't exist when checking with asyncio) while handling HTTP Requests through my create method in the view. This is while my websocket connection is still live and I can fire off the management commands separately during the create call handling just fine and receive the management command message on the other end. From the looks of it, inside of the RedisChannelLayer.group_send() it does not get connections through self.connection() because asyncio.get_running_loop() is not returning an active loop. So the biggest question would be why isn't the websocket event loop available within the context of the view.

Could you provide a minimal reproduce?
