Question

I have the following setup with a fresh installed celery and django 1.4:

settings.py:

import djcelery
djcelery.setup_loader()

BROKER_HOST = \'localhost         


        

Answer 1

Add CELERY_IMPORTS to your settings.py:

CELERY_IMPORTS = ('testapp.tasks',)

Import all the tasks in testapp.tasks.__init__ file

Then Celery will import all tasks from testapp.tasks folder and name them as they are
