Django - Executing a task through celery from a model

Question

In my models.py:

from django.db import models
from core import tasks

class Image(models.Model):
    image     = models.ImageField(upload_to=\'images/orig\')
            


        

Answer 1

You don't need to import the task itself. Try using the following

from django.db import models
from celery.execute import send_task, delay_task

class Image(models.Model):
    image     = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/orig')
    thumbnail = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/thumbnails', editable=False)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
       super(Image, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
       result = delay_task("task_prefix.create_thumbnail", post.id)
