django channels integration issue, websocket.receive not listening

Going through various blog post, I am trying to implement django channels for websockets functionality with django

I am using django 1.9.1

with these set of dependencies: asgi-redis==0.10.0 channels==0.12.0 daphne==0.11.1

settings.py

CHANNEL_LAYERS = { "default": { "BACKEND": "asgiref.inmemory.ChannelLayer", "ROUTING": "test.routing.channel_routing", }, } 

routing.py

from channels.routing import route from .consumers import websocket_receive channel_routing = [ route("websocket.receive", websocket_receive, path=r"^/chat/"), ] 

consumers.py

def websocket_receive(message): text = message.content.get('text') if text: message.reply_channel.send({"text": "You said: {}".format(text)}) 

After runserver from browser console i am calling this

socket = new WebSocket("ws://" + window.location.host + "/chat/"); socket.onmessage = function(e) { alert(e.data); } socket.onopen = function() { socket.send("hello world"); } 

On above call, in runserver logs I can see a call for websocket, something like this: "[2016/11/15 19:35:39] WebSocket CONNECT /chat/ [127.0.0.1:55499]", but my consumers.py method(websocket_receive) is never called..

Any idea where I may be going wrong ??
