I want to know why secret_key is wrong

I’m making website using Python Framework of ‘Django’.

I have some problems with Django about secret_key .

When I set a secret_key in .env file on private and change settings.py, there is problem.

I’m trying to solve it by myself, but its so difficult.

When I runserver on django, It errors contain:

(venv) C:pragmatic>python manage.py runserver
C:pragmaticvenvlibsite-packagesenvironenviron.py:637: UserWarning: Error reading C:
pragmatic.env - if you're not configuring your environment separately, check this.
  warnings.warn(

  File "C:UsersPJJAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython38-32libos.py", line 675, in __
getitem__
    raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'SECRET_KEY'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Answer

if your .env file is in root project directory so you don’t have to put this

environ.Env.read_env(
    env_file = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '.env')
)

just write this only environ.Env.read_env(), it will work
