For a celery worker to pick up tasks you need to make sure that:
- the redis server is running
- the celery config parameter "always eager" is disabled (add
CELERY_TASK_ALWAYS_EAGER = Falseto yourlocal.py)
To start a celery worker node in the foreground, call:
make celery-worker-start
To inspect all registered tasks, list the running worker nodes, call:
make celery-worker-status
To send a dummy task to the queue and report the result, call:
make celery-worker-dummy-task
