How to programmatically generate celerybeat entries with celery and Django
This is what ended up working for me :
def addTask(request): intervalSchedule = IntervalSchedule.from_schedule(schedule(timedelta(seconds=10))) intervalSchedule.save() modelData = dict( name="dcTestPersist", task="technologytrackerapi.tasks.createRecord", interval_id=intervalSchedule.pk, ) periodicTask = PeriodicTask(**modelData) periodicTask.save() me = ModelEntry(periodicTask) try: me.save() except: from django.db import connection print connection.queries raise return render_to_response('taskView.html')I had to wrap the Periodic Task in a ModelEntry.
I think what you want to do is add PeriodicTasks to the database. Looks like the bottom section of https://github.com/ask/django-celery/blob/master/djcelery/admin.py is how they add in tasks in the admin -- you'll need to offer something similar on the front end.
