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

i wonder if the problem might be a circular import (models and tasks importing each other at the top level). try moving "from core.models import Image" into create_thumbnail, i.e. changing tasks to

from celery.decorators import task

@task()
def create_thumbnail(image_id):
    from core.models import Image
    ImageObj = Image.objects.get(id=image_id)
    # other stuff here
