Find out whether celery task exists

Question

Is it possible to find out whether a task with a certain task id exists? When I try to get the status, I will always get pending.

>>> AsyncResult(\'         


        

Answer 1

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

if built_in_status_check(task_id) == 'pending'
   if registry_exists(task_id) == true
      print 'Pending'
   else
      print 'Task does not exist'
