Django celery run multiple workers with different queues - django

Question

i try to configure three queues/workers for celery in django.
settings.py
CELERY_BROKER_URL = 'redis://localhost:6379'
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'redis://localhost:6379'
CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT = ['application/json']
CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_TIMEZONE = 'Europe/Berlin'
CELERY_QUEUES = (
Queue('manually_task', Exchange('manually_task'), routing_key='manually_task'),
Queue('periodically_task', Exchange('periodically_task'), routing_key='periodically_task'),
Queue('firsttime_task', Exchange('firsttime_task'), routing_key='firsttime_task'),
)
CELERY_ROUTES = {
'api.tasks.manually_task': {
'queue': 'manually_task',
'routing_key': 'manually_task',
},
'api.tasks.periodically_task': {
'queue': 'periodically_task',
'routing_key': 'periodically_task',
},
'api.tasks.firsttime_task': {
'queue': 'firsttime_task',
'routing_key': 'firsttime_task',
},
}
I have three tasks and every task should be have their own queue/worker.
My tasks look like this:
#shared_task
def manually_task(website_id):
print("manually_task");
website = Website.objects.get(pk=website_id)
x = Proxy(website, "49152")
x.startproxy()
x = None
#periodic_task(run_every=(crontab(hour=19, minute=15)), ignore_result=True)
def periodically_task():
websites = Website.objects.all()
for website in websites:
x = Proxy(website, "49153")
x.startproxy()
x = None
#shared_task
def firsttime_task(website_id):
website = Website.objects.get(pk=website_id)
x = Proxy(website, "49154")
x.startproxy()
x = None
Now for the first trial i start only one worker:
celery -A django-proj worker -Q manually_task -n manually_task
My problem is that the task not execute apparently, "manually_task" not printed.
Why its not working?

Answer 1

Based on the commments I suggest you should either provide queue name when you are calling a task from a view like manually_task.apply_async((webseite.pk,), queue='manually_task'), you or add default queue named celery when you start the worker as in celery -A django-proj worker -Q manually_task,celery
