'ASGIRequest' object has no attribute '_request'

[tomiduss]

I'm getting this error using the EventsViewSet, I installed with the drf package.

Versions:
django_eventstream==5.3.1
daphne==4.1.2
django==5.1.1
djangorestframework==3.15.2
This is the trace:

#settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "daphne",
    ...,
    "django_eventstream",
    ...
]

ASGI_APPLICATION = "core.asgi.application"

redis_host, redis_port = CELERY_BROKER_URL.split("redis://")[1].split(":")

EVENTSTREAM_REDIS = {
    'host': redis_host,
    'port': redis_port,
    'db': 0,
}

This my view:

#views.py
class EventsView(EventsViewSet):
    permission_classes = [IsAdminOrIsResearch]
    channels = ["test"]

#urls.py
from django.urls import path, include
from django_eventstream import views
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter

from .views import EventsView

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'events', EventsView, basename='events')

urlpatterns = [
    path("", include(router.urls)),
]

However if I change line 118 in viewsets.py to:
request = django_request._request if hasattr(django_request, "_request") else django_request
it works.

I also noticed that if I don't set
ASGI_APPLICATION = "core.asgi.application"
Daphne won't let me run, which i feel should be mentioned in the README.

Regular views are working fine, but using the DRF support is useful because i can leverage permission_classes of drf views and integrates seamlessly with my auth logic.
