Django async view returning empty response when using database queries
I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm currently working on a Django 3.2 application with async views, and I'm working with a rather perplexing scenario. Whenever I attempt to perform a database query within my async view, I'm getting an empty response. Here's a simplified version of my view: ```python from django.http import JsonResponse from myapp.models import MyModel from asgiref.sync import sync_to_async async def my_async_view(request): data = await sync_to_async(MyModel.objects.all)() return JsonResponse({'data': list(data.values())}) ``` Instead of returning the expected list of objects, the response is always an empty array, like this: ```json {"data": []} ``` I've verified that there are indeed objects in the database, and I've also tried running the query synchronously just to ensure that the data fetch works outside of the async context: ```python def my_sync_view(request): data = MyModel.objects.all() return JsonResponse({'data': list(data.values())}) ``` This synchronous view returns the expected results, so it seems the scenario is specifically tied to the async implementation. I've also attempted using `database_sync_to_async` instead of `sync_to_async`, but that results in the same empty response. Could the scenario be related to how the database connection is being managed in the async view? Is there something specific I need to configure in Django settings for async database operations? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Is there a better approach? I'm using Python LTS in this project. Has anyone else encountered this?
