I am trying to schedule a Celery task for execution using : mytask.apply_async(countdown=120)(mytask is a simple python method with @task decorator). However when I call that, the task is executed immediately instead of executing it after 2 minutes and returns result like <EagerResult: 2b41cba1-81ff-489c-81bb-f1ad994d4441>. Any idea what I am missing here? I have also tried to do this using eta instead of countdown. My celery configuration is given below:
-- v3.0.12 (Chiastic Slide)
[Configuration]
-- broker: redis://localhost:6379/0
-- app: default:0x106090f50 (djcelery.loaders.DjangoLoader)
-- concurrency: 4 (processes)
-- events: OFF (enable -E to monitor this worker)
[Queues]
-- celery: exchange:celery(direct) binding:celery
If it helps, I am starting my celery this way: python manage.py celeryd -l DEBUG -B and have got periodic crontasks to work properly.
Thanks
