I'm trying to learn how to send messages over a websocket using channels 2.

I'm trying just to send a simple message when a client connects but I keep getting Attribute Errors:

class CameraOnlineConsumer(JsonWebsocketConsumer): def connect(self): self.accept() return self.send({ "type": "websocket.accept", "send": {'a': "Hi"} })

raises:

self.sendMessage(content.encode("utf8"), binary) AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'encode' WebSocket DISCONNECT /ws/camera_online/connect [127.0.0.1:36006]

changing to:

 return self.send({ "type": "websocket.accept", "send": "Hi" })

for example, returns the same error.

Try convert it to json like this .. import json class CameraOnlineConsumer(JsonWebsocketConsumer): def connect(self): self.accept() return self.send(json.dumps({ "type": "websocket.accept", "send": {'a': "Hi"} }))
