I have been trying to set up my scheduled task to run every x minutes, but I am not making any progress. I read the documentation and tried different approaches to the problem but I am obviously still doing something wrong.
celery.py
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'redis://localhost:6379/0'
CELERY_BROKER_URL = 'redis://localhost:6379/1'
from datetime import timedelta
from celery import Celery
app = Celery('taskscheduler', broker=CELERY_BROKER_URL, backend=CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND)
app.autodiscover_tasks()
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = {
'schedule-name': {
'task': 'taskscheduler.task.just_print',
'schedule': timedelta(seconds=5),
},
}
task.py
from celery import shared_task
@shared_task
def just_print():
print("Print from celery task")
__init__.py
from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals
# This will make sure the app is always imported when
# Django starts so that shared_task will use this app.
from taskscheduler.celery import app as celery_app
__all__ = ['celery_app']
All of the files are inside one of the many apps folders. What I am trying to achieve is basically to set up this task when I start the server and run it every x seconds, as long as the server is on.
Small Update
I changed my files a little to: celery.py
from __future__ import absolute_import
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'redis://localhost:6379/0'
CELERY_BROKER_URL = 'redis://localhost:6379/1'
from django.apps import apps
from datetime import timedelta
from celery import Celery
from celery.task.base import periodic_task
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULER = "djcelery.schedulers.DatabaseScheduler"
app = Celery('taskscheduler', broker=CELERY_BROKER_URL, backend=CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND)
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: [n.name for n in apps.get_app_configs()])
@periodic_task(run_every=timedelta(seconds=5))
def just_print():
print("Print from celery task")
When the function is in celery.py rather than task.py all works fine. However, I want to do it the proper way and make it available from task.py
