TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable django websockets

Question

i'm trying to add a notification feature to my projet. but when i try to connect using postman i get TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable. i have no idea why im getiing this error. the error doesnt even indicate a line in my code. this is my consumers.py

import json
from channels.generic.websocket import WebsocketConsumer
from asgiref.sync import async_to_sync

class NotificationConsumer(WebsocketConsumer):
    def connect(self):
        self.room_name = self.scope['url_route']['kwargs']['user_id']
        user = self.scope['user']
        if self.room_name == user:
            async_to_sync(self.channel_layer.group_add)(
            self.room_name,
            self.channel_name
            )
            self.accept()
        return


    async def disconnect(self, code):
        return await self.close()

    def receive(self, text_data=None):
        return

    def send_notifications(self, event):
        data = json.loads(event.get('value'))
        self.send(text_data=json.dumps({'payload':data}))
        

this is my routing.py

from django.urls import re_path

from .consumers import NotificationConsumer

websocket_urlpatterns = [
    re_path(r'ws/notification/(?P<user_id>\w+)/$', NotificationConsumer.as_asgi()),
]

this is my channelsmiddleware.py

from django.db import close_old_connections
from rest_framework_simplejwt.tokens import UntypedToken
from rest_framework_simplejwt.exceptions import InvalidToken, TokenError
from jwt import decode as jwt_decode
from clothRentalBackend import settings
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from urllib.parse import parse_qs
 
 
class TokenAuthMiddleware:
    """
    Custom token auth middleware
    """
 
    def __init__(self, inner):
        # Store the ASGI application we were passed
        self.inner = inner
 
    def __call__(self, scope):
 
        # Close old database connections to prevent usage of timed out connections
        close_old_connections()
 
        # Get the token
        token = parse_qs(scope["query_string"].decode("utf8")).get("token")[0]
 

        try:

            UntypedToken(token)
        except (InvalidToken, TokenError) as e:

            print(e)
            return None
        else:

            decoded_data = jwt_decode(token, settings.SECRET_KEY, algorithms=["HS256"])

            user = get_user_model().objects.get(id=decoded_data["id"])
 
        return self.inner(dict(scope, user=user))

i'm getting the following error when i try to connect by passing a token at ws://localhost:8000/ws/notification/1/?token=<jwt_token>

error:
