Available signals
-----------------
Django Q2 emits the following signals during its lifecycle.
Before enqueuing a task
"""""""""""""""""""""""
The ``django_q.signals.pre_enqueue`` signal is emitted before a task is
enqueued. The task dictionary is given as the ``task`` argument.
After spawning a worker process
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
The ``django_q.signals.post_spawn`` signal is emitted after a worker process has
spawned. The process name is given as the ``proc_name`` argument (string).
Before executing a task
"""""""""""""""""""""""
The ``django_q.signals.pre_execute`` signal is emitted before a task is
executed by a worker. This signal provides two arguments:
- ``task``: the task dictionary.
- ``func``: the actual function that will be executed. If the task was created
with a function path, this argument will be the callable function
nonetheless.
After executing a task
""""""""""""""""""""""
- The ``django_q.signals.post_execute_in_worker`` signal is emitted after a task
is executed by a worker and processed by the **worker**. It included the ``task``
dictionary with the result. Note that this signal is **emitted from, and handled
by, the worker process itself**, not the monitor, unlike the ``post_execute``
signal below.
- The ``django_q.signals.post_execute`` signal is emitted after a task is
executed by a worker and processed by the **monitor**. It included the ``task``
dictionary with the result.
Subscribing to a signal
-----------------------
Connecting to a Django Q2 signal is done the same as any other Django
signal::
from django.dispatch import receiver
from django_q.signals import pre_enqueue, pre_execute, post_execute, post_spawn
@receiver(pre_enqueue)
def my_pre_enqueue_callback(sender, task, **kwargs):
print(f"Task {task['name']} will be queued")
@receiver(pre_execute)
def my_pre_execute_callback(sender, func, task, **kwargs):
print(f"Task {task['name']} will be executed by calling {func}")
@receiver(post_execute)
def my_post_execute_callback(sender, task, **kwargs):
print(f"Task {task['name']} was executed with result {task['result']}")
@receiver(post_execute_in_worker)
def my_post_execute_in_worker_callback(sender, func, task, **kwargs):
print(f"Task {task['name']} was executed with result {task['result']}")
@receiver(post_spawn)
def my_post_spawn_callback(sender, proc_name, **kwargs):
print(f"Process {proc_name} has spawned")
