Other Manual Tests to Run

Testing that Celery Starts Up Correctly

The tests do not validate that celery will come up correctly or that its config is correctly loaded. You’ll have to manually validate that.

To see if celery will start up correctly locally you can run the following steps:

1. docker run -it -p 6379:6379 redis

   This will bring up a redis server that celery can connect to.

2. In a second terminal

export REDIS_URL="redis://localhost"
celery --app openedx_webhooks.worker worker -l INFO

This should produce a bunch of logging but should eventually say something like:

celery@<your hostname> ready.
