I have followed the channels tutorial but while running these error throw

Version of the packages is channels==2.1.2 Django==2.0.4

what I missed ? in settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
   "channels"
    ....
]

ROOT_URLCONF = 'myapp.urls'
ASGI_APPLICATION = "myapp.routing.application"

added file mayapp/routing.py

from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter 

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({
    # Empty for now (http->django views is added by default)
})

this is the error log

In my case it was wrong import in different file.

What you should do is

python manage.py shell
from mysite.routing import application

Look what exact error it produces and try to fix that
