Removals for version 4.0
========================

Old Task API
------------

.. _deprecate-compat-task-modules:

Compat Task Modules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Module ``celery.decorators`` will be removed:

  Which means you need to change::

    from celery.decorators import task

Into::

    from celery import task

- Module ``celery.task`` *may* be removed (not decided)

    This means you should change::

        from celery.task import task

    into::

        from celery import task

    -- and::

        from celery.task import Task

    into::

        from celery import Task


Note that the new :class:`~celery.Task` class no longer
uses classmethods for these methods:

    - delay
    - apply_async
    - retry
    - apply
    - AsyncResult
    - subtask

This also means that you can't call these methods directly
on the class, but have to instantiate the task first::

    >>> MyTask.delay()          # NO LONGER WORKS


    >>> MyTask().delay()        # WORKS!


TaskSet
~~~~~~~

TaskSet has been renamed to group and TaskSet will be removed in version 4.0.

Old::

    >>> from celery.task import TaskSet

    >>> TaskSet(add.subtask((i, i)) for i in xrange(10)).apply_async()

New::

    >>> from celery import group
    >>> group(add.s(i, i) for i in xrange(10))()


Magic keyword arguments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The magic keyword arguments accepted by tasks will be removed
in 4.0, so you should start rewriting any tasks
using the ``celery.decorators`` module and depending
on keyword arguments being passed to the task,
for example::

    from celery.decorators import task

    @task()
    def add(x, y, task_id=None):
        print("My task id is %r" % (task_id, ))

must be rewritten into::

    from celery import task

    @task()
    def add(x, y):
        print("My task id is %r" % (add.request.id, ))


Task attributes
---------------

The task attributes:

- ``queue``
- ``exchange``
- ``exchange_type``
- ``routing_key``
- ``delivery_mode``
- ``priority``

is deprecated and must be set by :setting:`CELERY_ROUTES` instead.

:mod:`celery.result`
--------------------

- ``BaseAsyncResult`` -> ``AsyncResult``.

- ``TaskSetResult`` -> ``GroupResult``.

- ``TaskSetResult.total`` -> ``len(GroupResult)``

- ``TaskSetResult.taskset_id`` -> ``GroupResult.id``

Apply to: :class:`~celery.result.AsyncResult`,
:class:`~celery.result.EagerResult`::

- ``Result.wait()`` -> ``Result.get()``

- ``Result.task_id()`` -> ``Result.id``

- ``Result.status`` -> ``Result.state``.

:mod:`celery.loader`
--------------------

- ``current_loader()`` -> ``current_app.loader``

- ``load_settings()`` -> ``current_app.conf``


Modules to Remove
-----------------

- ``celery.execute``

  This module only contains ``send_task``, which must be replaced with
  :attr:`@send_task` instead.

- ``celery.decorators``

    See :ref:`deprecate-compat-task-modules`

- ``celery.log``

    Use :attr:`@log` instead.

- ``celery.messaging``

    Use :attr:`@amqp` instead.

- ``celery.registry``

    Use :mod:`celery.app.registry` instead.

- ``celery.task.control``

    Use :attr:`@control` instead.

- ``celery.task.schedules``

    Use :mod:`celery.schedules` instead.

- ``celery.task.chords``

    Use :func:`celery.chord` instead.

* :envvar:`CELERY_LOADER` definitions without class name.

    instead.

* The module :mod:`celery.task.rest`; use :mod:`celery.task.http` instead.
