How To Configure Celerybeat_schedule In Django Settings?

I can get this to run as a standalone application, but I am having trouble getting it to work in Django. Here is the stand alone code: from celery import Celery from celery.schedul

Solution 1:

Why don't you try like the following and let me know if it worked out for you or not. It does work for me.

In settings.py

CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = {
    'my_scheduled_job': {
        'task': 'run_scheduled_jobs', # the same goes in the task name'schedule': crontab(),
    },
}

And in tasks.py..

from celery.task import task # notice the import of task and not shared task. @task(name='run_scheduled_jobs') # task name found! celery will do its jobdefrun_scheduled_jobs():
    # do whatever stuff you doreturnTrue

But if you are looking for shared_task then..

@shared_task(name='my_shared_task') # name helps celery identify the functions it has to rundefmy_shared_task():
    # do what you want here..returnTrue

I use shared task for async jobs.. So I need to call it from a function like the following..

in views.py / or anywhere.py in your project app

def some_function():
    my_shared_task.apply_async(countdown= in_seconds)
    return True

and just in case if you have forgotten then remember to include your app in which you are trying to run to the tasks..

INSTALLED_APPS = [...
 'my_app'...
] # include app

I'm sure this approach works fine.. Thanks
