python - Setting CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER to True throws Errors -

i have asynchronous calls in code. this:

send_message_to_install.delay(install, alert.message, badge, code,                             campaign=alert.campaign, **kwargs) 

i not interested in getting results back, important function executed synchronously while running tests - without throwing errors.

while testing, tried set celery_always_eager in settings file true:

if "test" in sys.argv:     celery_always_eager = true 

i have tried set in tests well:

from django.conf import settings settings.celery_always_eager = true 

both attempts make tests throw errors (without ".delay" works fine):
