no encoder installed for (u'json',) from kombu

I think I am missing a step somewhere but I've been looking around and cant find it. When I run my celery task, I get thrown this error message no encoder installed for (u'json',) when I call get_task.delay(args). Am i suppose to have my own custom serialization?

settings.py 

CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT = ['pickle']
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json', 
CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER = 'json'

I also tried get_task.apply_async((args), serializer='json'). This seems to hang. Nothing is running. I checked my workers, nothing shows up.

Solution

  • You have a stray comma at the end of CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER. Remove it.
