Django Celery Beat - How to pass arguments using the DatabaseScheduler

Question

I'm using the "DatabaseScheduler" with the Django Celery Beat, but I can't pass arguments to the function.

The settings:

# Django celery
import djcelery
djcelery.setup_loader()
BROKER_URL = 'django://'
CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULER = "djcelery.schedulers.DatabaseScheduler"

The task:

@task()
def some_task(days):
    # Some code
    ...

How can I pass the argument "days" using the Django admin? I've created a new "Periodic Task" calling the "some_task". I've tried to pass the argument days with:

Arguments: [7]

and also tested:

Keyword arguments: {"days": 7}

Someone can give me a clue on how to pass arguments using the Django admin?

Best Regards,

Answer 1

The arguments and keyword arguments must use double quotes.

So if you are specifying arguments, it should be like:

["aa", "11"]

If you are specifying keyword arguments, it should be like this:

{"abc": "a", "xyz": "1"}
