Celery 4 not auto-discovering tasks

问题

I have a Django 1.11 and Celery 4.1 project, and I've configured it according to the setup docs. My celery_init.py looks like

from __future__ import absolute_import

import os

from celery import Celery

# set the default Django settings module for the 'celery' program.
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'myproject.settings.settings'

app = Celery('myproject')

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

#app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS) # does nothing
app.autodiscover_tasks() # also does nothing

print('Registering debug task...')
@app.task(bind=True)
def debug_task(self):
    print('Request: {0!r}'.format(self.request))

However, when I launch a worker with:

.env/bin/celery worker -A myproject -l info

it shows no tasks being found except for the sample "debug_task", even though I have several installed apps with Celery tasks, with should have been found via the call to app.autodiscover_task(). This is the initial output my worker generates:

 -------------- celery@localhost v4.1.0 (latentcall)

[tasks]
  . myproject.celery_init.debug_task

[2017-10-31 15:56:43,237: INFO/MainProcess] celery@localhost ready.

All my legacy tasks in my app tasks.py files were defined like:

from celery.task import task

@task(name='mytask')
def mytask():
    blah

The docs suggest using the shared_task decorator, so instead I tried:

from celery import shared_task

@shared_task
def mytask():
    blah

But my Celery worker still doesn't see it. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I've been able to get tasks to show up by explicitly listing them in my setting's CELERY_IMPORTS list, but even then I have to heavily edit the tasks.py to remove all imports of my Django project (models.py, etc) or it raises the exception Apps aren't loaded yet. This is better than nothing, but requires a huge amount of refactoring. Is there a better way?

回答1:

I had a similar issue, and the solution was to add the include kwarg to your celery call.

The include argument is a list of modules to import when the worker starts. You need to add our tasks module here so that the worker is able to find our tasks.

app = Celery('myproject', 
             backend = settings.CELERY.get('backend'),
             broker = settings.CELERY.get('broker'),
             include = ['ingest.tasks.web', ... ])

Check out http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/getting-started/next-steps.html#proj-celery-py for more information

Just posting this here (I don't know why it works)

from django.conf import settings

app.config_from_object(settings, namespace='CELERY')
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS, force=True)

force=True seems to be the solution

Another thing that works is calling django.setup() before instantiating celery.

from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals
import os

import django

from celery import Celery


django.setup()  # This is key


# set the default Django settings module for the 'celery' program.
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'proj.settings')

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

app.autodiscover_tasks()

This method avoids force=True, import django.conf.settings and seems cleaner to me. Though i still have no idea why you need to call django.setup because It isn't stated in the docs.

回答3:

The accepted answer doesn't work for me. I am using celery 4.1.0 and django 2.0.2 and this same thing happens to me...it shows no tasks being found except for the sample "debug_task", even though I have several installed apps with Celery tasks, with should have been found via the call to app.autodiscover_task().

I have tried manually adding them to CELERY_IMPORTS as well as tried the suggestions mentioned above. Same outcome. Been blowing through hours upon hours with no luck.

回答4:

from django.conf import settings    
celery_app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)

You can add the above line to make celery to autodiscover all tasks written in the whole project. This is working for me.

回答5:

I found the bigger problem was that Celery wasn't setting my custom Celery() instance as the current app. To fix it, I had to modify my celery_init.py to include:

from celery._state import _set_current_app

# setup my app = Celery(...)

_set_current_app(app)

回答6:

Even i am not sure, if this will work. But i guess it worked for me:

There is a section in the same documentation you mentioned:

enter image description here

After this i removed CELERY_IMPORTS and it could register the tasks from all apps inside my project
