How to keep Celery alive on Heroku? - python

I am trying to run these commands on Heroku:
python manage.py celery worker --loglevel=info
python manage.py celery beat
i can run them from my terminal, but when i close it the processes stop to run. I probably should change Procfile:
web: gunicorn appname.wsgi
celery: python manage.py celery worker --loglevel=info
celery: python manage.py celery beat
but I dunno how or if I really should change anything.
How do I keep celery processes running on my heroku app?

How do I get Celery to execute in production on Heroku?

I'm using Celery on my Django app.
I can't get the celery task to execute unless I run celery -A appname worker -l info --pool=solo in the terminal.
How do I get it execute when the site is in production?
You need to add a worker process to your Procfile, e.g.
web: gunicorn some_app.wsgi
worker: celery -A appname worker -l info --pool solo
After redeploying, scale up one or more workers, e.g. by running
heroku ps:scale worker=1

How to Print celery worker details on windows and mac

I actually had issues printing mine on command prompt because I was using the wrong command but I found a link to a project which I forked Project
(If on Mac ) celery -A Project worker --loglevel=info
(If on Windows) celery -A Project worker -l info --pool=solo
Run
celery -A Project worker --loglevel=info
in project folder where your celery object is created.
You can use the file name to get your tasks discovered.
For Example: if your file name is tasks.py and celery object is created in that file.
Command will be:
celery -A tasks worker --loglevel=info

Django celery monitor doesn't show any tasks

I cannot see the tasks in admin.
I followed the steps in https://github.com/jezdez/django-celery-monitor
I used
celery==4.1.1
django-celery-results==1.0.1
django-celery-beat==1.0.1
django_celery_monitor==1.1.2
ran manage.py migrate celery_monitor The migrations went well. ran celery -A lbb events -l info --camera django_celery_monitor.camera.Camera --frequency=2.0 and celery -A lbb worker -l info in separate shells. But still cannot see the tasks I ran in celery-monitor > tasks table.
Running celery command with -E to force event worked for me.
celery -A proj worker -l info -E

Have to manually start worker on heroku?

In my Procfile I have the following:
worker: cd appname && celery -A appname worker -l info --app=appname.celery_setup:app
However, when my app submits a task it never happens, but I think the celery worker is at least sort of working, because
heroku logs --app appname
every so often gives me one of these:
2016-07-22T07:53:21+00:00 app[heroku-redis]: source=REDIS sample#active-connections=14 sample#load-avg-1m=0.03 sample#load-avg-5m=0.09 sample#load-avg-15m=0.085 sample#read-iops=0 sample#write-iops=0 sample#memory-total=15664884.0kB sample#memory-free=13458244.0kB sample#memory-cached=187136kB sample#memory-redis=566800bytes sample#hit-rate=0.17778 sample#evicted-keys=0
Also, when I open up bash by running
heroku run bash --app appname
and then type in
cd appname && celery -A appname worker -l info --app=appname.celery_setup:app
It immediately tells me the task has been received and then executes it. I would like to have this happen without me having to manually log in and execute the command - is that possible? Do I need a paid account on heroku to do that?
I figured it out. Turns out you also have to do
heroku ps:scale worker=1 --app appname
Or else you won't actually be running a worker.

Need to run celery worker during Django unittest

I am working on Django based web app. During unittest, I need to write a test which needs "Celery worker" running in the background.
I have already used:
CELERY_EAGER_PROPAGATES_EXCEPTIONS=True
CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER=True
BROKER_BACKEND='memory
In over_ride settings, but these are not running celery worker for me in background when needed.
Any help would much appreciated.
Celery won't get run by Django automatically.
You can start a worker process by running from your project root:
$ celery -A my_proj worker
my_proj should be the application name you configured with app = Celery('my_proj')
