How to run Celery in Heroku.?

I'm running a Django app on Heroku Web servers. I've a form which sends a mail to the users.

For sending the mail, I'm using Celery as the background task. When I test it locally(ie on localhost), it works fine. But when I upload the code on Heroku, it shows me Application Error . On having a look at heroku logs , it throws an error saying 

ImportError: cannot import name Celery

Where am I going wrong? I've also installed redis as my broker_url and have included django-celery in requirements.txt file which installs the same.

Why am I getting this error?

Solution

  • I just renamed my celery app, and it worked. Thats the trick.
