reload tasks automatically

[mike]

Hi,

I'm probably missing something obvious but I'm wondering if there's a
way to automatically reload tasks when the source changes? I'm using
celery in a django app, starting it with a supervisord script with the
command:

/path/manage.py celeryd --loglevel=INFO

I have to reload or restart it every time I change the source code. Is
there some way I can make it auto reload tasks when in development?

Thanks very much for any advice,
Mike

Celery does not support code reloading.

Apparently reloading code in Python is *very* tricky to get right,
and in some situations probably impossible.

If someone want to hack on this it will be appreciated,
but I'm guessing it may be rather pointless if it doesn't work
in production anyway.

Hello,

You can try to hack something with nosier [1]: it allows you to run an
arbitrary command when a file change in a directory (recursively).
Only works with linux >= 2.6.

Thank you both for your responses.

nosier is working well for me. Running it like:

sudo /home/mike/env/wepub/bin/nosier "supervisorctl reload" /home/mike/
work/wepub/tasks.py

Then I tail the log. Makes me very happy. Still kind of a long wait
between saving and being able to re-run the test but at least I don't
have to much around on the command line each time.

Thanks!

I meant "rerun the task" not "test". -Mike
