Struggling to make it work

# broker.py
import asyncio

from taskiq_redis import RedisAsyncResultBackend, RedisStreamBroker
from taskiq_nats import NatsBroker

result_backend = RedisAsyncResultBackend(
    redis_url="redis://default:P@ss123@10.9.9.100:6379",
)

# Or you can use PubSubBroker if you need broadcasting
# Or ListQueueBroker if you don't want acknowledges
broker = RedisStreamBroker(
    url="redis://default:P@ss123@10.9.9.100:6379",
).with_result_backend(result_backend)


broker_nats = NatsBroker(
    servers=["nats://nats:P@ss123@10.9.9.4:4222"], queue="my_queue"
).with_result_backend(result_backend)


@broker.task
async def best_task_ever() -> None:
    """Solve all problems in the world."""
    await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
    print("All problems are solved!")


@broker_nats.task

    """Solve all problems in the world."""

    print("All problems are solved with NATS!")


async def main():
    await broker.startup()
    await broker_nats.startup()
    task = await best_task_ever.kiq()
    print(await task.wait_result())

    print(await task_nats.wait_result())

    asyncio.run(main())

I've tried everything I understood before coming here.

1. I started the broker with taskiq broker:broker
2. I ran python3 broker.py

OUTPUT:

Worker (taskiq broker:broker)

Broker (python3 broker.py)

08:00:30 ((.env) ) root@MSI nats ±|main ✗|→ python3 broker.py 
is_err=False log=None return_value=None execution_time=0.53 labels={} error=None

It's just indefinitely stuck after this.

Can you please help @s3rius

What am I getting wrong??

taskiq = "^0.11.17"
taskiq-fastapi = "^0.3.5" 
taskiq-nats = "^0.5.1"
taskiq-redis = "^1.0.9"

[s3rius]

Yes, because you only start brokers for broker:broker, which happens to be RedisStreamBroker.

In order to fix it, you can start another process that will use nats broker by starting taskiq worker broker:broker_nats.

Hope it helps.

Thank you @s3rius.

I added some return values just for testing purposes.

10:28:37 ((.env) ) root@MSI nats ±|main ✗|→ python3 broker.py 
is_err=False log=None return_value='FTW!' execution_time=0.5 labels={} error=None
is_err=False log=None return_value='NATS FTW!' execution_time=0.51 labels={} error=None

I notice that the redis_result_backend doesn't receive anything from the nats_broker. Only the broker task is visible

[s3rius]

It should not receive any tasks, because tasks you were sending asigned to different brokers. And they are sent in respected brokers only.

If you want to send it to another broker, you can try using: task.kicker().with_broker(other_broker).
