The message has been ignored and discarded.
Did you remember to import the module containing this task?
Or maybe you are using relative imports?
Please see http://bit.ly/gLye1c for more information.

I had the same problem:
The reason of "Received unregistered task of type.." was that celeryd service didn't find and register the tasks on service start (btw their list is visible when you start
./manage.py celeryd --loglevel=info ).
These tasks should be declared in CELERY_IMPORTS = ("tasks", ) in settings file.
If you have a special celery_settings.py file it has to be declared on celeryd service start as --settings=celery_settings.py as digivampire wrote.
–
You can see the current list of registered tasks in the celery.registry.TaskRegistry class. Could be that your celeryconfig (in the current directory) is not in PYTHONPATH so celery can't find it and falls back to defaults. Simply specify it explicitly when starting celery.
celeryd --loglevel=INFO --settings=celeryconfig
You can also set --loglevel=DEBUG and you should probably see the problem immediately.

Whether you use CELERY_IMPORTS or autodiscover_tasks, the important point is the tasks are able to be found and the name of the tasks registered in Celery should match the names the workers try to fetch.
When you launch the Celery, say celery worker -A project --loglevel=DEBUG, you should see the name of the tasks. For example, if I have a debug_task task in my celery.py.
[tasks]
. project.celery.debug_task
. celery.backend_cleanup
. celery.chain
. celery.chord
. celery.chord_unlock
. celery.chunks
. celery.group
. celery.map
. celery.starmap
If you can't see your tasks in the list, please check your celery configuration imports the tasks correctly, either in --setting, --config, celeryconfig or config_from_object.
If you are using celery beat, make sure the task name, task, you use in CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE matches the name in the celery task list.

please include=['proj.tasks']
You need go to the top directory, then execute this
celery -A app.celery_module.celeryapp worker --loglevel=info
celery -A celeryapp worker --loglevel=info
in your celeryconfig.py input imports = ("path.path.tasks",)
please in other module invoke task!!!!!!!!

Using --settings did not work for me. I had to use the following to get it all to work:
celery --config=celeryconfig --loglevel=INFO
Here is the celeryconfig file that has the CELERY_IMPORTS added:
# Celery configuration file
BROKER_URL = 'amqp://'
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'amqp://'
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_TIMEZONE = 'America/Los_Angeles'
CELERY_ENABLE_UTC = True
CELERY_IMPORTS = ("tasks",)
My setup was a little bit more tricky because I'm using supervisor to launch celery as a daemon.
What worked for me, was to add explicit name to celery task decorator. I changed my task declaration from @app.tasks to @app.tasks(name='module.submodule.task')
Here is an example
At first my task was like:
# tasks/test_tasks.py
@celery.task
def test_task():
print("Celery Task !!!!")
I changed it to :
# tasks/test_tasks.py
@celery.task(name='tasks.test_tasks.test_task')
def test_task():
print("Celery Task !!!!")
This method is helpful when you don't have a dedicated tasks.py file to include it in celery config.

In my case the issue was, my project was not picking up autodiscover_tasks properly.
In celery.py file the code was for getting autodiscover_tasks was:
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)
I changed it to the following one:
from django.apps import apps
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: [n.name for n in apps.get_app_configs()])
Best wishes to you.
I had this problem mysteriously crop up when I added some signal handling to my django app. In doing so I converted the app to use an AppConfig, meaning that instead of simply reading as 'booking' in INSTALLED_APPS, it read 'booking.app.BookingConfig'.
Celery doesn't understand what that means, so I added, INSTALLED_APPS_WITH_APPCONFIGS = ('booking',) to my django settings, and modified my celery.py from
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)
app.autodiscover_tasks(
lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS + settings.INSTALLED_APPS_WITH_APPCONFIGS
I had the same problem running tasks from Celery Beat. Celery doesn't like relative imports so in my celeryconfig.py, I had to explicitly set the full package name:
app.conf.beat_schedule = {
'add-every-30-seconds': {
'task': 'full.path.to.add',
'schedule': 30.0,
'args': (16, 16)

Try importing the Celery task in a Python Shell - Celery might silently be failing to register your tasks because of a bad import statement.
I had an ImportError exception in my tasks.py file that was causing Celery to not register the tasks in the module. All other module tasks were registered correctly.
This error wasn't evident until I tried importing the Celery task within a Python Shell. I fixed the bad import statement and then the tasks were successfully registered.
This, strangely, can also be because of a missing package. Run pip to install all necessary packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
autodiscover_tasks wasn't picking up tasks that used missing packages.

I did not have any issue with Django. But encountered this when I was using Flask. The solution was setting the config option.
celery worker -A app.celery --loglevel=DEBUG --config=settings
while with Django, I just had:
python manage.py celery worker -c 2 --loglevel=info
I encountered this problem as well, but it is not quite the same, so just FYI. Recent upgrades causes this error message due to this decorator syntax.
ERROR/MainProcess] Received unregistered task of type 'my_server_check'.
@task('my_server_check')
Had to be change to just
@task()
No clue why.
Then in your config app, import the task in ready method like this:
from django.apps import AppConfig
class MyAppConfig(AppConfig):
name = 'apps.myapp'
def ready(self):
import apps.myapp.signals # noqa F401
import apps.myapp.tasks
except ImportError:
As some other answers have already pointed out, there are many reasons why celery would silently ignore tasks, including dependency issues but also any syntax or code problem.
One quick way to find them is to run:
./manage.py check
Many times, after fixing the errors that are reported, the tasks are recognized by celery.

For me, restarting the broker (Redis) solved it.
The task already showed up correctly in Celery's task list and all relevant Django settings and imports worked fine.
My broker was running before I wrote the task, and restarting Celery and Django alone didn't solve it.
However, stopping Redis with Ctrl+C and then restarting it with redis-server helped Celery to correctly identify the task.
If you are running into this kind of error, there are a number of possible causes but the solution I found was that my celeryd config file in /etc/defaults/celeryd was configured for standard use, not for my specific django project. As soon as I converted it to the format specified in the celery docs, all was well.
Only the latter command was showing task names at all.
I have also tried adding CELERY_APP line /etc/default/celeryd but that didn't worked either.
CELERY_APP="tasks"
I had the issue with PeriodicTask classes in django-celery, while their names showed up fine when starting the celery worker every execution triggered:
KeyError: u'my_app.tasks.run'
My task was a class named 'CleanUp', not just a method called 'run'.
When I checked table 'djcelery_periodictask' I saw outdated entries and deleting them fixed the issue.
Just to add my two cents for my case with this error...
My path is /vagrant/devops/test with app.py and __init__.py in it.
When I run cd /vagrant/devops/ && celery worker -A test.app.celery --loglevel=info I am getting this error.
But when I run it like cd /vagrant/devops/test && celery worker -A app.celery --loglevel=info everything is OK.
I've found that one of our programmers added the following line to one of the imports:
os.chdir(<path_to_a_local_folder>)
This caused the Celery worker to change its working directory from the projects' default working directory (where it could find the tasks) to a different directory (where it couldn't find the tasks).
After removing this line of code, all tasks were found and registered.
Celery doesn't support relative imports so in my celeryconfig.py, you need absolute import.
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = {
'add_num': {
'task': 'app.tasks.add_num.add_nums',
'schedule': timedelta(seconds=10),
'args': (1, 2)
An additional item to a really useful list.
I have found Celery unforgiving in relation to errors in tasks (or at least I haven't been able to trace the appropriate log entries) and it doesn't register them. I have had a number of issues with running Celery as a service, which have been predominantly permissions related.
The latest related to permissions writing to a log file. I had no issues in development or running celery at the command line, but the service reported the task as unregistered.
I needed to change the log folder permissions to enable the service to write to it.
My 2 cents
I was getting this in a docker image using alpine. The django settings referenced /dev/log for logging to syslog. The django app and celery worker were both based on the same image. The entrypoint of the django app image was launching syslogd on start, but the one for the celery worker was not. This was causing things like ./manage.py shell to fail because there wouldn't be any /dev/log. The celery worker was not failing. Instead, it was silently just ignoring the rest of the app launch, which included loading shared_task entries from applications in the django project
