Celery: Results returned from group have task_name=None

Created on 13 Feb 2015  路  3Comments  路  Source: celery/celery

When I try to access the taskname from a result that has come from group, None is returned

Python(s): 3.3.6, 3.4.2
celery: 3.1.17

proj/celery.py

from celery import Celery

app = Celery('proj',
             broker='amqp://',
             backend='amqp://',
             include=['proj.tasks'])

# Optional configuration, see the application user guide.
app.conf.update(
    CELERY_TASK_RESULT_EXPIRES=3600,
)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.start()

proj/tasks.py

from proj.celery import app

@app.task
def add(x, y):
    return x + y


@app.task
def mul(x, y):
    return x * y

run_add.py

from celery import group

from proj import tasks

import logging

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

results = group([
    tasks.mul.s(4,4),
    tasks.add.s(3,3)
]).delay()

while results.waiting():
    pass

if results.successful():
    for result in results:
        log.info('ID: {}, name: {}'.format(result.task_id, result.task_name))

Result:

INFO:__main__:ID: c2fa4f30-0691-41ee-8f7b-e7dcbf32d09a, name: None
INFO:__main__:ID: f545bfa0-2ad7-40b3-9d05-561d4c1eba7e, name: None

@ask is there no way to grab the task_name now? We have an endpoint used to expose task data to the web, and we'd like to, given an AsyncResult, log the name of the task.

Same thing seems to also be happening with chains too.
There's also a stackoverflow post about it:

Get the task_name from AsyncResult when submitting chains in celery

task_name is a local field, it's not used for anything anymore and I guess it should be removed completely.

The result sent does not actually have a name field, it was used at some point to serialize the backend with the result when using pickle, but that is accomplished differently now.
