django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Set the CELERY_BROKER_URL environment variable
I'm getting this error when I execute the python manage.py command.
I already installed cookiecutter with its requirements but I don't know where to go from there.
Any suggestions?
When you create user project with cookiecutter, you must set every required settings. In this case, it is celery.
If you don't want to use celery, I recommend you to recreate your project. Then type n when cookiecutter ask to use celery.
If you want to use celery, see this tutorial First step with Django.
I give you some advise. cookiecutter is powerful tool to create project simply. But if you are not familiar with django and other libraries, the cookiecutter could confuse you. So I recommend you not to use the cookiecutter. Instead, look at this tutorial and proceed step by step.
I think is not a good idea to abandon a technology when you find small issues on initialization, I started a project with "Cookiecutter Django" and I find It very powerful, so for those who still have this issue do the following:
Following the cookiecutter documentation https://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developing-locally.html you will find this:
$ export CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
To convert the above command in Windows just follow this post https://linuxhint.com/windows-equivalent-export-command/
The “setx” command can be utilized in Windows Command Prompt to set environment variables permanently. However, in order to set environment variables just for a session or temporarily, utilize the “set” command.
To set environment variables just for a session or temporarily use:
set CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
To set environment variables permanently use:
set CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
