This document describes the current stable version of Celery (5.2). For development docs, go here.

`celery.result`¶

Task results/state and results for groups of tasks.

class celery.result.AsyncResult(id, backend=None, task_name=None, app=None, parent=None)[source]¶

Query task state.

Parameters:

id (str) – See id.
backend (Backend) – See backend.

exception TimeoutError¶: The operation timed out.

app = None¶

property args¶

as_list()[source]¶: Return as a list of task IDs.

as_tuple()[source]¶

backend = None¶: The task result backend to use.

build_graph(intermediate=False, formatter=None)[source]¶

property children¶

collect(intermediate=False, **kwargs)[source]¶

Collect results as they return.

Iterator, like get() will wait for the task to complete, but will also follow AsyncResult and ResultSet returned by the task, yielding (result, value) tuples for each result in the tree.

An example would be having the following tasks:

from celery import group
from proj.celery import app

@app.task(trail=True)
def A(how_many):
    return group(B.s(i) for i in range(how_many))()

@app.task(trail=True)
def B(i):
    return pow2.delay(i)

@app.task(trail=True)
def pow2(i):
    return i ** 2

>>> from celery.result import ResultBase
>>> from proj.tasks import A

>>> result = A.delay(10)
>>> [v for v in result.collect()
...  if not isinstance(v, (ResultBase, tuple))]
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

Note

The Task.trail option must be enabled so that the list of children is stored in result.children. This is the default but enabled explicitly for illustration.

Yields:: Tuple[AsyncResult, Any] – tuples containing the result instance of the child task, and the return value of that task.

property date_done¶: UTC date and time.

failed()[source]¶: Return True if the task failed.

forget()[source]¶: Forget the result of this task and its parents.

get(timeout=None, propagate=True, interval=0.5, no_ack=True, follow_parents=True, callback=None, on_message=None, on_interval=None, disable_sync_subtasks=True, EXCEPTION_STATES=frozenset({'FAILURE', 'RETRY', 'REVOKED'}), PROPAGATE_STATES=frozenset({'FAILURE', 'REVOKED'}))[source]¶

Wait until task is ready, and return its result.

Warning

Waiting for tasks within a task may lead to deadlocks. Please read Avoid launching synchronous subtasks.

Warning

Backends use resources to store and transmit results. To ensure that resources are released, you must eventually call get() or forget() on EVERY AsyncResult instance returned after calling a task.

Parameters:

timeout (float) – How long to wait, in seconds, before the operation times out.
propagate (bool) – Re-raise exception if the task failed.
interval (float) – Time to wait (in seconds) before retrying to retrieve the result. Note that this does not have any effect when using the RPC/redis result store backends, as they don’t use polling.
no_ack (bool) – Enable amqp no ack (automatically acknowledge message). If this is False then the message will not be acked.
follow_parents (bool) – Re-raise any exception raised by parent tasks.
disable_sync_subtasks (bool) – Disable tasks to wait for sub tasks this is the default configuration. CAUTION do not enable this unless you must.

Raises:

celery.exceptions.TimeoutError – if timeout isn’t None and the result does not arrive within timeout seconds.
Exception – If the remote call raised an exception then that exception will be re-raised in the caller process.

get_leaf()[source]¶

property graph¶

id = None¶: The task’s UUID.

property ignored¶: If True, task result retrieval is disabled.

property info¶: Task return value.

Note

When the task has been executed, this contains the return value. If the task raised an exception, this will be the exception instance.

Parameters:

id (str) – The id of the group.
results (Sequence[AsyncResult]) – List of result instances.
parent (ResultBase) – Parent result of this group.

as_tuple()[source]¶

classmethod restore(id, backend=None, app=None)[source]¶: Restore previously saved group result.

results = None¶: List/iterator of results in the group

save(backend=None)[source]¶

Save group-result for later retrieval using restore().

Example

>>> def save_and_restore(result):
...     result.save()
...     result = GroupResult.restore(result.id)

class celery.result.ResultBase[source]¶

Base class for results.

parent = None¶: Parent result (if part of a chain)

class celery.result.ResultSet(results, app=None, ready_barrier=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

A collection of results.

Parameters:: results (Sequence[AsyncResult]) – List of result instances.

add(result)[source]¶

Add AsyncResult as a new member of the set.

Does nothing if the result is already a member.

property app¶

property backend¶

clear()[source]¶: Remove all results from this set.

completed_count()[source]¶

Task completion count.

Returns:: the number of tasks completed.
Return type:: int

discard(result)[source]¶

Remove result from the set if it is a member.

Does nothing if it’s not a member.

failed()[source]¶

Return true if any of the tasks failed.

Returns:

true if one of the tasks failed.: (i.e., raised an exception)

Return type:

bool

forget()[source]¶: Forget about (and possible remove the result of) all the tasks.

get(timeout=None, propagate=True, interval=0.5, callback=None, no_ack=True, on_message=None, disable_sync_subtasks=True, on_interval=None)[source]¶

See join().

This is here for API compatibility with AsyncResult, in addition it uses join_native() if available for the current result backend.

iter_native(timeout=None, interval=0.5, no_ack=True, on_message=None, on_interval=None)[source]¶

Backend optimized version of iterate().

New in version 2.2.

Note that this does not support collecting the results for different task types using different backends.

This is currently only supported by the amqp, Redis and cache result backends.

join(timeout=None, propagate=True, interval=0.5, callback=None, no_ack=True, on_message=None, disable_sync_subtasks=True, on_interval=None)[source]¶

Gather the results of all tasks as a list in order.

Note

This can be an expensive operation for result store backends that must resort to polling (e.g., database).

You should consider using join_native() if your backend supports it.

Warning

Waiting for tasks within a task may lead to deadlocks. Please see Avoid launching synchronous subtasks.

Parameters:

timeout (float) – The number of seconds to wait for results before the operation times out.
propagate (bool) – If any of the tasks raises an exception, the exception will be re-raised when this flag is set.
interval (float) – Time to wait (in seconds) before retrying to retrieve a result from the set. Note that this does not have any effect when using the amqp result store backend, as it does not use polling.
callback (Callable) – Optional callback to be called for every result received. Must have signature (task_id, value) No results will be returned by this function if a callback is specified. The order of results is also arbitrary when a callback is used. To get access to the result object for a particular id you’ll have to generate an index first: index = {r.id: r for r in gres.results.values()} Or you can create new result objects on the fly: result = app.AsyncResult(task_id) (both will take advantage of the backend cache anyway).
no_ack (bool) – Automatic message acknowledgment (Note that if this is set to False then the messages will not be acknowledged).
disable_sync_subtasks (bool) – Disable tasks to wait for sub tasks this is the default configuration. CAUTION do not enable this unless you must.

Raises:

celery.exceptions.TimeoutError – if timeout isn’t None and the operation takes longer than timeout seconds.

join_native(timeout=None, propagate=True, interval=0.5, callback=None, no_ack=True, on_message=None, on_interval=None, disable_sync_subtasks=True)[source]¶

Backend optimized version of join().

New in version 2.2.

Note that this does not support collecting the results for different task types using different backends.

This is currently only supported by the amqp, Redis and cache result backends.

maybe_reraise(callback=None, propagate=True)¶

maybe_throw(callback=None, propagate=True)[source]¶

ready()[source]¶

Did all of the tasks complete? (either by success of failure).

Returns:: true if all of the tasks have been executed.
Return type:: bool

remove(result)[source]¶

Remove result from the set; it must be a member.

Raises:: KeyError – if the result isn’t a member.

results = None¶: List of results in in the set.

revoke(connection=None, terminate=False, signal=None, wait=False, timeout=None)[source]¶
