crontab not working with celery multi start

I am trying to get Celery work for awhile now. All my crontabs works just fine when I test it synchronously

sudo celery -A testdjango worker --loglevel=DEBUG --beat

but when I do

celery multi start -A testdjango w1 -l info

none of my crontabs work. I am not sure why

Note: I tried other schedule intervals as well like with time delta The same thing happens with that as well.

So I am fairly certain this is not a crontab thing but somehow related to the way I am starting celery multi.

Also, the worker turns on just fine since I can see it in Celery Flower but no tasks get executed.

Solution

  • So, the answer is pretty straightforward

    Since periodic tasks need Beat just add --beat with the command.

    something like this

    celery multi start -A testdjango w1 --beat -l info
