Django celery beat not able to locate app to schedule task-CodePudding

I'm trying to schedule a task in celery.

celery.py inside the main project directory

from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals
import os
from celery import Celery
from celery.schedules import crontab

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE','example_api.settings')

app = Celery('example_api')

app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings',namespace="CELERY")

app.conf.beat_schedule = {
    'add_trades_to_database_periodically': {
        'task': 'transactions.tasks.add_trades_to_database',
        'schedule': crontab(minute='*/1'),
        # 'args': (16,16),
    },
}

app.autodiscover_tasks()

The project has a single app called transactions.

function inside transactions/tasks.py

@task(name="add_trades_to_database")
def add_trades_to_database():
    start_date = '20000101' #YYYYDDMM
    end_date = '20150101'
    url = f'https://api.example.com/trade-retriever-api/v1/fx/trades?fromDate={start_date}&toDate={end_date}'
    content = get_json(url)
    print(content)
    save_data_to_model(content,BulkTrade)

I'm using rabbitmq-server for taskqueues.

My rabbitmq-server is active all the time.
Other celery task work absolutely fine.(I've tried implementing an email function which works well using celery).

I start celery worker and beat using

celery -A project worker -l info
celery -A project beat -l info

Following error appears in the worker terminal

The full contents of the message body was:
'[[], {}, {"callbacks": null, "errbacks": null, "chain": null, "chord": null}]' (77b)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/......./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/celery/worker/consumer/consumer.py", line 581, in on_task_received
    strategy = strategies[type_]
KeyError: 'transactions.tasks.add_trades_to_database'

I'm using ubuntu.

CodePudding user response：

You have explicitly named the task "add_trades_to_database"

@task(name="add_trades_to_database")
def add_trades_to_database():
    ...

Yet, you are scheduling the task under the name "transactions.tasks.add_trades_to_database"

app.conf.beat_schedule = {
    'add_trades_to_database_periodically': {
        'task': 'transactions.tasks.add_trades_to_database',
        'schedule': crontab(minute='*/1'),
    },
}

Solutions you can choose from:

Don't explicitly set a name for the task. Celery would set a default name for it based on the module names and the function name as documented. The beat schedule remains the same (assuming add_trades_to_database is located in my_proj/transactions/tasks.py::add_trades_to_database)
```
@task
def add_trades_to_database():
    ...
```

Or you can just change the beat schedule to refer to the explicitly set name.

app.conf.beat_schedule = {
    'add_trades_to_database_periodically': {
        'task': 'add_trades_to_database',
        'schedule': crontab(minute='*/1'),
    },
}

To emphasize, choose only one out of these 2 solutions, because doing both would obviously still fail for the same reason.

Also, note that when using Django, the convention is to use the decorator @shared_task so you might want to change your tasks to:

from celery import shared_task


@shared_task
def add_trades_to_database():
   ...
