send_event not sending an event in localhost

[navitasconcepts]

My versions are:

Django==3.2.14
django_eventstream==4.5.1
channels==3.0.5

I am running locally on a Mac with python manage.py runserver.

Following the README steps, The url path /events/ works correctly - however, send_events does not trigger an event. All i see are "keep-alive" events in the stream.

Any steps I am missing here?

Thanks.

Hi, are you running send_event from within that same runserver instance and not from a separate management command or anything?

I have a similar issue. I use celery to run a method that should invoke send_event. I receive empty responses when I connect to the eventsource on frontend.

This fixed my issue ! I was running the send_event from a manage.py shell.
When running from the same instance it worked !
