I wanted to start a periodic task in Django
using Celery
. Here are the relevant parts of my project:
# celery.py
from celery import Celery
# set the default Django settings module for the 'celery' program.
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'bookProjectSetting.settings')
app = Celery('bookProjectSetting')
# Using a string here means the worker doesn't have to serialize
# the configuration object to child processes.
# - namespace='CELERY' means all celery-related configuration keys
# should have a `CELERY_` prefix.
app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings', namespace='CELERY')
# Load task modules from all registered Django app configs.
app.autodiscover_tasks()
@app.task(bind=True)
def debug_task(self):
print(f'Request: {self.request!r}')
The __init__.py
looks like this:
# This will make sure the app is always imported when
# Django starts so that shared_task will use this app.
from .celery import app as celery_app
__all__ = ('celery_app',)
My tasks.py
file in my books
app folder looks like this:
from books.models import Book
from celery.schedules import crontab
from celery.decorators import periodic_task
@periodic_task(
run_every=(crontab(minute='*/10')),
name="update_life_time_of_books",
ignore_result=True)
def update_life_time_of_books():
# do sth.
I also set up redis
as broker and installed the django-celery-beat
stuff. But when I run the worker via the command:
celery -A bookProjectSetting beat -l INFO --scheduler django_celery_beat.schedulers:DatabaseScheduler
Then I get the following error:
File "/home/ac3l1k/Desktop/PROJECT/simpleDjangoProjects/bookProject/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/celery/local.py", line 403, in _compat_periodic_task_decorator
from celery.task import periodic_task
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'celery.task'
From the error I assume that something is wrong with the decorator but I can not tell why. Hope someone can help.
Thnks in advance :=)

They deprecated that functionality as I understood from this issue: https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/6406
Now it seems to be that you need to use this to make scheduled tasks:
https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/periodic-tasks.html?highlight=periodic
The "task" is no longer in version 5.x
You can use version 4.x
