Tasks in the queue are not being processed

Hi, I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding something about how django-q works, but any tasks which I push on to the queue using async() seem to just stay in the queue and never get processed, and I’m not sure why.

Here’s an example of how I’m pushing tasks onto the queue:

async('django.core.mail.send_mail',
              'Test Subject',
              'Test Message',
              '[e-mail]',
              [user.email])

Below you can see that the tasks are getting registered to the queue, but they just stay in the “Queued tasks” and never get processed.

My configuration for django-q is:

Q_CLUSTER = {
    'name': 'DjangoORM',
    'timeout': 30,  # Timeout in secs for a task
    'save_limit': 10,  # Store latest 10 results only
    'orm': 'default'  # Django database connection
}

Disregard; as I suspected, I was misunderstanding how to use django-q. I wasn’t running the python manage.py qcluster command so I never had a cluster running to actually process tasks in the queue.

It might be beneficial to update the docs so that the “Installation” or “Configuration” sections include some brief instructions or just a mention that the user needs to manually start the cluster so that queued tasks get processed. As someone who had no prior experience with this sort of async queueing functionality before, I didn’t actually know this was necessary. It was only when I went through every section of the docs that I eventually realised I needed to manually start the cluster when reading the “Cluster” section.

I have the same problem the task in the queue are not processed, but the task in scheduling are processed.

Q_CLUSTER = {
    "label": "Tasks",
    "workers": 1,
    "orm": "default",
    "ack_failures": True,
    "timeout": HOUR_IN_SECONDS * 4,
    "retry": HOUR_IN_SECONDS * 24 * 7
}
