[Error] select_for_update cannot be used outside of a transaction.
See original GitHub issueThis Django error (raised from SQL Compiler) pops up in my logs and prevent any scheduled tasks to run. The error is raised from this django_q line, which is very strange since the whole try block is within the transaction.atomic() context manager.
Any idea on why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks!
Config:
- db: Postgres 11 with psycopg2 interface
- django-q 1.2.1
- django 3.0
- python 3.8
Edit
The error is reproduced in this basic demo app
