in my virtual env, when i tried to use

 celery -A myshop flower

with celery and rabbitmq running i got this error:

Error: No such command 'flower'.

Did you mean one of these?
    worker

I have done this in the same directory:

/home/denys/env2/myshop/myshop

end when i am using celery --help, there is no flower command:

Commands:
  amqp     AMQP Administration Shell.
  beat     Start the beat periodic task scheduler.
  call     Call a task by name.
  control  Workers remote control.
  events   Event-stream utilities.

And also i tried to use:

celery flower -A myshop

What should i change? Thank you)

Answer 1

Looks like the latest version of flower doesn't yet support celery v5.0.0 as of 10/1/20.

As Артур mentioned, dropping to 4.4.7 should resolve the issue.

Answer 2

Try this :

celery flower -A myshop --address=127.0.0.1 --port=5555

You can address to whatever is the IP of your rabbit server (in case it is not on local) .

Also try if you will get flower listed when you execute pip freeze .

Answer 3

Use celery 4.4.7 version mb will solve the problem !
