celerybeat

celerybeat uses UTC even with timezone settings

I'm finding that celerybeat is using UTC time in its scheduling (and outputting logs in UK time?!) even though I believe I have the required settings in my django settings.py:

TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'
USE_TZ = True
CELERY_ENABLE_UTC = True
CELERY_TIMEZONE = 'Australia/Sydney'
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = 
    "testRunBeat" : {
        "task" : "experiments.tasks.testHeartBeat",
        "schedule" : crontab(minute = "*/1", hour="13-14"),    
}

I have tried switching the TIME_ZONE variable with no luck

I am using:

django==1.4
celery==2.5.5
django-celery==2.5.5

Thanks

  • Turns out that it was a bug in celery which is now fixed. See https://github.com/celery/django-celery/issues/150
