Django Celery tutorial not returning results

Question

UDATE3: found the issue. See the answer below.

UPDATE2: It seems I might have been dealing with an automatic naming and relative im

Answer 1

I found the solution to my problem from another stackoverflow post: Why does Celery work in Python shell, but not in my Django views? (import problem)

I had to add these lines to my settings file:

CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = "amqp"
CELERY_IMPORTS = ("app.module.tasks", )

then in the task.py file I named the task as such:

@task(name="module.tasks.add")

The server and the client had to be informed of the task names. The celery and django-celery tutorials omit these lines in their tutorials.

Answer 2

if you run celery in debug mode is more easy understand the problem

python manage.py celeryd

What the celery logs says, celery is receiving the task ? If not probably there is a problem with broker (wrong queue ?)
