I'm referring to Django Celery documents.
I created celery.py in my proj/proj just as the document said. and then included __init__.py
celery.py
from __future__ import absolute_import
import os
from celery import Celery
from django.conf import settings
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'proj.settings')
app = Celery('proj')
app.conf.update(
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND='djcelery.backends.database:DatabaseBackend',
)
app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings')
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)
__init__.py
from __future__ import absolute_import
from .celery import app as celery_app
I installed pip install django-celery , then migrated python manage.py migrate djcelery
It made some of the tables in my DB.
tasks.py
from __future__ import absolute_import
from celery import shared_task
import requests
import json
@shared_task
def post_notification(data,url):
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
After that I called my task in my views as
task = post_notification.delay(data,url)
print task.id #it prints an id
print task.status # prints PENDING
But nothing gets logged into any of my tables.
I've read my threads on SO,Thread1 , Thread2 and many more given on these threads, but nothing happens.
It provides me the ID & status of the task but how do I save the task in the DB? Usually it should get logged into celery_taskmeta, but there's nothing in there.
Though the task gets execute but I want to save the task in DB as well. How can I do it? Is there something I'm missing?
Add following in settings.py file
BROKER_URL = 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost//'
CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT = ['json']
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER = 'json'
And start the worker.
