Heroku RQ (Redis Queue) Django Error: “Apps aren't loaded yet.”












0















I have a functional Django app that has many Google Text-To-Speech API calls and database reads/writes in my view. When testing locally it takes about 3 seconds to load a page, but when I deploy the app live to Heroku it takes about 15 seconds to load the webpage. So I am trying to reduce load time.



I came across this article: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python-rq that suggests I should use background tasks by queueing jobs to workers using an RQ (Redis Queue) library. I followed their steps and included their worker.py file in the same directory as my manage.py file (not sure if that's the right place to put it). I wanted to test it out locally with a dummy function and view to see if it would run without errors.



# views.py
from rq import Queue
from worker import conn

def dummy(foo):
return 2

def my_view(request):
q = Queue(connection=conn)
for i in range(10):
dummy_foo = q.enqueue(dummy, "howdy")
return render(request, 'dummy.html', {})


In separate terminals I run:



$ python worker.py
$ python manage.py runserver


But when loading the webpage I received many "Apps aren't loaded yet." error messages in the python worker.py terminal. I haven't tried to deploy to Heroku yet, but I'm wondering why I am I getting this error message locally?

  • I didn't (total Redis noob here). But I just tried running redis-server in a third separate terminal and it gave me the same error.

You didn't post the code of worker.py, but I'd wager it does not properly initialize Django. Take a look at the contents of manage.py to see an example. So, if worker.py tries to instantiate (or even import) any models, views, etc, you'll get that kind of error. Django needs to resolve settings.py (among other things), then use that to look up database settings, resolve models/relationships, etc.



Simplest path is to use django-rq, a simple library that integrates RQ and Django to handle all this. Your worker.py essentially just becomes python manage.py rqworker.
