Run django project on new computer

I developed a project on django for years and deployed it on heroku.

Now my Computer crashed and i try to get my running django project from heroku run on my new laptop in pycharm.

-i cloned my project from heroku -installed all dependencies -created new venv -set system variables secret key etc...

seems like i have multiple issues...

tried everything and read for hours and days but cant get it working ....

any tip would be usefull

AttributeError: module 'angebot.views' has no attribute 'generate_pdf'

Read above carefully. In your urls.py one usually assigns paths to view functions. Therefore angebot_views.generate_pdf has to be a view function. But this can not be imported. Check the top of the urls.py file how you're importing angebot_views. Your code somehow relates that to angebot.views. Check that view file, if that view function generate_pdf is indeed there.

After confirming the existence of this view function and its correct importing you search further.

Since you said you did not change anything and simply copied the entire project my next thought would be about changed import paths. Remember that imports kind of depend from where the process was launched. Have you changed the location of your manage.py file (Since that is the file 'starting' your project)?

The error is not within the dependencies but about a view function that can not be found. You have to find it and import and assign it properly within your angebot/urls.py
