Django Version: 1.8

Exception Type: RuntimeError

Exception Value: generator raised StopIteration

Where should look to solve my problem?

I managed to solve this problem myself.

I think everyone following along with workspaces should be fine..

Since I'm following along this course in my local machine I had a difference in my Python module version.

I was running Python 3.7 and Django 1.8 and was getting this error. I changed my settings to Python 3.4.1 (like Kenneth has in this course), Django stayed the same, and everything worked fine with the same exact code!

This course would need a retouch asap! Hope this helps anyone struggling with same problem.

Where did you change the python version?

I used virtual environments to set up the versions I needed.

To use the python version I needed, i used 'pyenv'. Link: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv

Here's a bit of a tutorial how to set it all up on macOS: https://medium.com/python-every-day/python-development-on-macos-with-pyenv-virtualenv-ec583b92934c
