'Celery + Django on Windows: debugging asynchronous tasks

With Django 1.8 I used Django-celery to run asynchronous tasks and I was able to debug them in my IDE (either PyCharm or Eclipse+PyDev) just launching "python celery worker" in debug mode.

Django-celery doesn't support Django 2.2, so I have to run pure celery.exe. Celery docs say that I have to add pdb to my code and run debug via console.

How can I debug these tasks as I did before, adding breakpoints dynamically from my IDE?

Solution 1:^[1]

You can use CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER = True setting in you development env. If this is True, all tasks will be executed locally without sending it to a queue.

Solution 2:^[2]

You can use celery.contrib.rdb, an extension of pdb.

from celery.contrib import rdb
from celery.task import task

@task
def add(x,y):
    result=× + y
    rdb.set_trace()  #set breakpoint
    return x+y

Open next terminal and type

telnet localhost 6900

Now you are in debug mode.

Solution 3:^[3]

Telnet solution doesn't work for me. But I was able to debug my tasks with pdb.

Add breakpoint: pdb.set_trace().

Then just run worker with -l warning, it will prevent printing of excessive info.
