[FIXED] (keyError: 'CELERY_BROKER_URL')

Issue

File "C:\Users\User\path\lib\site-packages\environ\environ.py", line 277, in get_value
raise ImproperlyConfigured(error_msg)
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?

Solution

When you create user project with cookiecutter, you must set every required settings. In this case, it is celery.

What 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.
