#celery

Hi all

May be someone can help me?

I made worker, for control panel. He based on flask as listener. Master send request(post with key and type of task) with task. As example task for backup all data on server. It mean start scenario of backup, preparation and then sending backups to storage.(just rsync, not "rocket science"). So does i need to use Celery? And does it require to use RabbitMQ or i can use "ortodox" sqlite with sqlalchemy? Thank you :)

In my modest opinion,using RabbitMQ, will be "monstrous mistake" for deliver 50 - 100 task per hour. Help me to choice right decision.

Oh god

Ravshan: there are plenty of different brokers and result backends you can use. If you already have a db, you can use that. Or redis or something else

heyho, how do i specific a queue with @periodic_task?

found it, options={'queue': 'x'} :)

Hi guys! What should I do If I want to test periodic_task? I mean to test that at defined period something (what I defined) happend?

I have to use datetime to set necessary time but set it where?

@MagnusGraviti not really following your question

you want to make sure that the tests run?

uh tests = tasks :)

yes

I have periodic task that must on 30 day send mails

and I want to cover it with test

not just call function as it is already covered with tests

but test mail is sent actually on defined period of time

oh on idea, to be honest I never test that period_tasks works

also, perhaps stupid but february doesn't have 30 days :P

anyway thanks for trying to dive into my problem :)

yep

nice test for february :D

I think I have to set requirement like 00-00 or necessary datetime somewhere… but I think also that celery takes it from system date and time...

MagnusGraviti1, tried to mock datetime.datetime?

I'll try now

and I decided to look how this part was tested in celery :P

copelco: just mock the retry call and verify that it was called

Hi again:_

I got TimeoutError: The operation timed out. when try different brokers. https://github.com/Masagin/FlaskCelery here my repo with test config. Can you help me?(call me moron, and show what i do wrong)

Thank you;)

Ravshan: could you paste the full stack trace to a paste bin?

Sure
