Can't find the BASE_DIR

[zurtri]

Hi guys,

Just starting and trying to create my first component I get this error:

python manage.py startunicorn hello_world CommandError: Can't find BASE_DIR for this project

I have this in my settings.py:
'django_unicorn', # 'unicorn',

If I uncomment unicorn I get:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'unicorn'

Any ideas on how I can get it finding the BASE_DIR?

Thanks!

Found the solution!

Just had to put BASE_DIR = APPS_DIR in my setting.py file.

I am using Django CookieCutter so that is probably where the misconfig was.

Awesome that you figured out what was going on! I made an issue to hopefully fix this for others in the future: #214.
