I’m facing this issue on running _rasa shell_ command

**asyncio - Task exception was never retrieved future: \<Task finished coro=\<configure\_app..run\_cmdline\_io() done, defined at c:\users\nidhi\anaconda\envs\rasaapp\lib\site-packages\rasa\core\run.py:124\> exception=RuntimeError(‘This event loop is already running’)\>**

Traceback call:

```auto

Hi @nidhiverma1997 Check out this post : [Error : This event loop is already running](http://forum.rasa.com/t/error-this-event-loop-is-already-running/24017/6)

Alongwith that, try installing asyncio

Hey @varunsapre10, it worked! I read the linked post earlier too but it didn’t work. So I rerun rasa init and this time it did. Thanks for helping 🙌
