redis redis.client rq Queue job.result # => None

Question

I'm trying to figure out rq queuing with redis. I have simple test_job function which I want to use in queue.

def test_job():
    return "OK"

And the script taken mainly from rq documentation:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import redis.client
from rq import Queue
import time

from helpers import test_job

def main():

    q = Queue(connection=redis.client.Redis('localhost',6379)) 

    job = q.enqueue(test_job)
    print job.result   # => None

    while not job.result:
        time.sleep(2)
        print job.result   # => None

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

The problem is that I'm not leaving while loop. job.result remains None. However, redis connection seems to work, according to log:

[1279] 30 Dec 12:08:20.041 - 0 clients connected (0 slaves), 612560 bytes in use

Answer 1

Did you start a worker to process the task?

It looks like no worker is running (as only your client connected to Redis). Run rqworker from your project's root.
