python - Register Celery Class-based Task

Question

Python 3.x, Celery 4.x...

I have a class-based task.

myproj/celery.py

from celery import Celery

# django settings stuff...

app = Celery('myproj')
app.autodiscover_tasks()

app1/tasks.py

import celery

class EmailTask(celery.Task):
    def run(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.do_something()

If I do:

$ celery worker -A myproj -l info
[tasks]
  . app2.tasks.debug_task
  . app2.tasks.test

So, the celery decorators work to register tasks, but the class-based task is not registered.

How do I get the class-based tasks to register?

Update 1:

If I add the following lines to app1/tasks.py

from myproj.celery import app
email_task = app.tasks[EmailTask.name]

.

$ celery worker -A myproj -l info
  File "myproj/app1/tasks.py", line 405, in <module>
    email_task = app.tasks[EmailTask.name]
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/celery/app/registry.py", line 19, in __missing__
    raise self.NotRegistered(key)
celery.exceptions.NotRegistered

Update 2:

I am able to execute my task synchronously (run) via a wrapper. However, I cannot run the task async, i.e., via delay.

app1/tasks.py

@app.task
def email_task():
    """
    Wrapper to call class based task
    """
    task = EmailTask()
    # task.delay()  # Won't work!!!
    task.run()

.

$./manage.py shell
> from app1.tasks import EmailTask
> task1 = EmailTask()
> task1.run() # a-okay
> task2 = EmailTask()
> task2.delay() # nope
  <AsyncResult: 1c03bad9-169a-4a4e-a56f-7d83892e8bbc>

# And on the worker...

You can find full description here, but for me it was enough to add

from myapp.celery import app
app.tasks.register(MyTaskTask())
