Unable to start Redis Queue (RQ) worker in Python

I installed Python Redis Queue module using pip install rq

When I try to start the worker using rq or rq worker, it is throwing an error.

PYTHONPATH=src REDIS_HOST=localhost rq worker --with-scheduler -u redis://localhost:6379

    ) from None

I am running Python==3.7 and rq==1.7.0 on a Windows 10 machine. How can I start a worker? Do I need to configure anything? Any help would be appreciated.

    The problem is the click package. You probably have the 8.0.0 version.

    Install click==7.1.2 and it should be OK.

    Use this command to uninstall the version of "click" python module and install the specific version.. but this is the temporary solution.

    pip uninstall click && pip install click==7.1.2

    Command support for both Linux and windows

    workaround: pin the click to < 8.0.

    pip install "click>=7,<8"

    In my case it was not only click but the celery also. However at the time of writing, the following combination works fine –

    celery==5.2.7
click==8.1.3
rq==1.8.1
