Airflow Running task from UI, KeyError: No such transport

Question

airflow cfg settings related to celery are:

broker_url = 'amqp://guest:guest@rabbitmq_server:8080'
celery_result_backend = db+postgresql://developer:password@postgres_server:5432/db_name

The airflow webserver runs ok, but while running a task from airflow UI I get the error.

I am error while running airflow scheduler,tracecak is:

I wasted lot of time on this issue, the reason for this error was quotation marks in broker_url = 'amqp://guest:guest@rabbitmq_server:8080' just removing the quotes: broker_url = amqp://guest:guest@rabbitmq_server:8080 solved the problem.
