Django Q tasks are not executed with ./manage.py test

Hello,

My models have some django Q task starting on certain action such as overridden Model.save() . The async tasks work correctly during functional testing, but the tasks are submitted but not executed if I hit the same code with ./manage.py test.

I just see some message of my 13:07:53 [Q] INFO Enqueued 1, probably of my tasks being queued, but they’re not executed.

Is this something expected?

That’s what I’ve done at the end 😃 thanks for your help.

@epinna a very easy solution would be to change a setting during you tests.

In your tests.py settings files

Q_CLUSTER = {
    'sync': True
}

or at the beginning of your test (if you only have a single test that needs it)

from django.conf import settings
settings.Q_CLUSTER['sync'] = True

This will remove the need to copy any code
