This error occurs when there is an attempt to create a new event loop in a function that is already running an event loop. In other words, there is an attempt to run multiple event loops at the same time.
To fix this error, you can either stop the running event loop before creating a new one, or use the running event loop instead of creating a new one.
Here are some steps you can try:
- Check if there is any function or module that is already running an event loop.
- Determine if you need to create a new event loop or use the existing one.
- If you need to create a new event loop, make sure to stop the existing one before creating the new one.
- If you need to use the existing event loop, reference it in your function instead of creating a new one.
Here is an example of how to use the existing event loop instead of creating a new one:
import asyncio
# get the existing event loop
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
# define a function that uses the existing event loop
async def my_function():
# your code here
# run the function with the existing event loop
loop.run_until_complete(my_function())
Remember to always check if there is an existing event loop that you can use before creating a new one to avoid the error.
