Django Celery with RabbitMQ

Question

I am trying to run task with Celery. I follow this tutorials link

Everything has been setup successfully. The thing now is that I don't know how to execute a task. I run celeryd and it couldn't find the task. I want to know what exactly I need to call to execute the task and how I need to config the task on RabbitMQ server, django-admin.. I cannot find any full tutorials about it.

Answer 1

Django by example has a full section on using Celery with RabbitMQ. There are also free tutorials or articles on this topic

• How to install Celery on Django and Create a Periodic Task
• Django Celery Part 1
• Django Celery Part 2

Answer 2

task definition app/tasks.py:

from celery import shared_task

@shared_task
def add(param1,param2)
  print("task")

task execution:

from celery import current_app
current_app.send_task("app.tasks.add", ["param1", "param2"])

Answer 3

This might help you to get an idea how to run Celery.

It worked fine for me.
