KeyError: 'DB_NAME' - Error

[saish29]

Hello @v-adhithyan , I tried to run your project on Ubuntu Linux and followed all your steps thoroughly, although I am not able to solve this error which I am getting when running the manage.py file. I think it something to do with the migrations created and I tried squashmigrations as well but it is throwing the same error. I have checked your website from the readme file and I am really impressed by your work and it is an inspiration for me. Can you help me with the error please? thank you.

Hey, I followed the instructions although I am encountering the same error. I created an.env file as you mentioned but its the same error as mentioned above. Is there any specific place where I have to keep the .env file like I have to place it in etc/environment directory? And about the sentry token, its the API token we have to obtain from the sentry.io website right?

I am using Ubuntu 18 on VMware.

Yes you have to obtain a token from sentry.io

You should place .env file at the project root. After placing the .env file, install python-dotenv or pip install -r requirments.txt. Make sure to pull the latest master branch before installing requirments.txt. The readme has been updated. After installing requirements.txt. type python manage.py shell A prompt should now appear. now type the following.

from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() os.environ["DB_NAME"]

This should probaly fix the problem. Let me know if it fixes the issue.

Hey, I followed the steps as you mentioned and encountered NameError. I tried troubleshooting it on the internet but of no avail. Here is the screenshot.

Hey! An update. I am able to run the script successfully by typing the python migrate.py migrate and then running the server. Although there are no visualizations when I run it in the browser. Can you please help me with it?
