Well, I wanted to deploy, and everything seems fine. I was following a guide, but I got to a point where when I tried to commit and start the deployment, I got an error that I've been trying to resolve for hours:
File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/channels/layers.py", line 155, in require_valid_channel_name
raise TypeError(self.invalid_name_error.format("Channel"))
TypeError: Channel name must be a valid unicode string with length < 100 containing only ASCII alphanumerics, hyphens, underscores, or periods.
I hope you can help me.
Project: Django, CSS, HTML, JS, and now
I've also implemented websockets for a shifts section.

hi there
does your channel name abide by those rules?
Channel name must be a valid unicode string with length < 100 containing only ASCII alphanumerics, hyphens, underscores, or periods.

Yes, I actually have a feature for that.
import re
def safe_channel_name(original_name):
if not original_name:
return None
try:
name_str = str(original_name).strip()
safe_name = re.sub(r'[^a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]', '_', name_str)
safe_name = safe_name[:99]
return safe_name if safe_name else None
except Exception:
return None
