Using celery without djcelery

[DimaKudosh]

Hello,
DB mailer works with celery only when djcelery is installed. But with latest version of celery it's possible to use celery with django without this library. How I can use db-mailer with celery without djcelery installed?

Hi, can you show errors when celery is not installed?

[DimaKudosh]

It doesn't raise any error, it just ignore use_celery parameter when djcelery isn't installed. In your init.py you have following code:

def celery_supported():
    try:
        from dbmail import tasks
        if not app_installed('djcelery'):
            raise ImportError
        return True
    except ImportError:
        return False

So celery_supported will always return False if you haven't djcelery, even if you use celery in your project.

Can you try disable this code, and check how app working without djcelery?

[DimaKudosh]

After disabling this code it works fine, so problem in this function.

[gotlium]

what about queue and another functionality?

and additional question: how we can check celery configuration without djcelery app?

I setup celery using this tutorial from docs http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/django/first-steps-with-django.html. Then I run celery using this command celery -A project worker -l info -Q default. Also in django-celery repo I found this warning

THIS PROJECT IS ONLY REQUIRED IF YOU WANT TO USE DJANGO RESULT BACKEND AND ADMIN INTEGRATION

So I didn't install it because admin integration and results not important for me.
