Fail to run Celery tutorial

Question

Here is the tasks.py

from celery.task import task

@task
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

Here is the celeryconfig.py

print 'importing ' + __file__
BROKER_URL = "amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//"
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = "amqp"
CELERY_IMPORTS = ("tasks", )

Here is the file that i run. tasks.py:

from tasks import add
result = add.delay(4, 4)
print result.wait()

The program just stuck in the wait method.

Celeryd prints the following error:

Did you remember to import the module containing this task?
Or maybe you are using relative imports?
Please see http://bit.ly/gLye1c for more information.

The full contents of the message body was:
{'retries': 0, 'task': 'tasks.add', 'args': (4, 4), 'expires': None, 'eta': None
, 'kwargs': {}, 'id': '8c973638-4a87-4afa-8a78-958153066215'}

, line 66, in __getitem__
    raise self.NotRegistered(key)
NotRegistered: 'tasks.add'

When I run celeryd.py status, I the tasks.add is not here.

D:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\celery-2.4.5-py2.6.egg\celery\bin>celeryctl.py in
pect registered
<- registered
-> onfirenbpc: OK
    * celery.backend_cleanup
    * celery.chord
    * celery.chord_unlock
    * celery.ping

I run on windows, and linux as well. There are the same problem.

Does anyone know why?

Answer 1

Did you set you add method as task? One of variant to do that would use decorator:

from celery.decorators import task

@task
def add():
    pass
