ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting INSTALLED_APPS, but settings are not configured. Heroku

Time:02-16

I am trying to set up my Django project on Heroku. It's my first time doing so.

When deploying it succeeds but when opening up the view I get this message: ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting INSTALLED_APPS, but settings are not configured. (full traceback below).

I am using Heroku Postgres and Heroku Redis add-ons.

What am I doing wrong?

Procfile

release: python manage.py migrate
web: daphne test_cs.asgi:application --port $PORT --bind 0.0.0.0 -v2
worker: python manage.py runworker channels --settings=test_cs.settings -v2
runtime.txt

python-3.10.2
asgi.py

import os

from channels.auth import AuthMiddlewareStack
from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter, URLRouter

from django.core.asgi import get_asgi_application

import main.routing


os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'test_cs.settings')

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({
    "http": get_asgi_application(),
    "websocket": AuthMiddlewareStack(
        URLRouter(
            main.routing.websocket_urlpatterns
        )
    )
})

CodePudding user response:

I'm assuming setdefault() is getting overridden somewhere else. Try os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = test_cs.settings

CodePudding user response:

I was able to fix the problem by changing position of os.environ.setdefault before imports. Apparently the order matters. I found a solution here

updated asgi.py
import os
import django

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'test_cs.settings')
django.setup()

from channels.auth import AuthMiddlewareStack
from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter, URLRouter
