Getting error message running Django server

I’m not able to run python manage.py runserver. I was able to run python manage.py migrate successfully. I even changed ASGI_APPLICATION = "MyProject.asgi.application" to ASGI_APPLICATION = "routing.application" which didn’t work. Here is the error I get

  show_sunset_warning()

Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

Here is my consumers.py, you can see I clearly remove StopCOnsumers and added the line of code you suggested
