ALWAYS_EAGER setting broken

This is on the latest PyPI version.

Setting CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER = True or TEST_RUNNER = 'djcelery.contrib.test_runner.CeleryTestSuiteRunner' in my Django settings file doesn’t prevent Celery from sending jobs to the queue.

@ask It is not that the setting isn’t read from the file – it is whether it is actually obeyed.

I suspect this is related to celery/celery#581.

I think that librabbitmq attempts to run tasks locally without using an AMQP server if none is available, and amqp does simply fails if an AMQP server isn’t available.

I have the same issue with django-celery==3.0.17 and Python 3.3.1. Setting CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER = True explicitly in settings.py works for me. Using TEST_RUNNER = 'djcelery.contrib.test_runner.CeleryTestSuiteRunner' seems not to set ALWAYS_EAGER to True.

When writing unit tests you are required to set CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER = True otherwise you cannot check for the calculated return values from my workers using MyTask.delay(). I would prefer using a custom TEST_RUNNER than setting the option explicitly.

Currently my solution is to do the following in settings.py

if 'test' in sys.argv:
    CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER = True
