Unit testing with django-celery?
Try setting:
BROKER_BACKEND = 'memory'
(Thanks to asksol's comment.)
I like to use the override_settings decorator on tests which need celery results to complete.
from django.test import TestCase
from django.test.utils import override_settings
from myapp.tasks import mytask
class AddTestCase(TestCase):
@override_settings(CELERY_EAGER_PROPAGATES_EXCEPTIONS=True,
CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER=True,
BROKER_BACKEND='memory')
def test_mytask(self):
result = mytask.delay()
self.assertTrue(result.successful())
If you want to apply this to all tests you can use the celery test runner as described at http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/2.5/django/unit-testing.html which basically sets these same settings except (BROKER_BACKEND = 'memory'
).
In settings:
TEST_RUNNER = 'djcelery.contrib.test_runner.CeleryTestSuiteRunner'
Look at the source for CeleryTestSuiteRunner and it's pretty clear what's happening.
