Python, Celery, Flask, “working outside of application context”

Question

I am trying to schedule tasks using Celery and Python for a Flask app. I basically want to run a function in another directory every x amount of time and make it a celery task.

Answer 1

Whatever test_check is, it does something that needs a request context. Since Celery tasks are not part of the HTTP request/response cycle, you need to set up a request context manually.

with app.test_request_context():
    test_check()
