Django Channels using django shell

Question

I'm currently am trying to use Celery to send sockets with django channels. However I found the same issue there as with using Django's shell, and was hoping if someone could enlighten me.

I have it set up so that within views.py, when a user sends a POST request it will call

Group("chat").send({'text':'hello'})

The browser then displays an alert.

However when I try to do the same thing using Django's shell or one of Celery's tasks:

$ python3 manage.py shell
$ from channels import Group
$ Group("chat").send({'text': 'hello'})

It doesn't do anything, not even returning an error.

If you are using In-Memory Channel Layer then likely it does not support cross-process communication. So try with other channel layer types and you are good to go.
