Django Celery task doesn't fire in development

I'm trying to make use of periodic tasks but can't make it work.

I have this test task

# handler/tasks.py

from celery import Celery

app = Celery()


@app.on_after_configure.connect
def setup_periodic_tasks(sender, **kwargs):
    # Calls test('hello') every 2 seconds.
    sender.add_periodic_task(2, test.s('hello'), name='add every 2')


@app.task
def test(arg):
    print(arg)

Celery is configured

# project dir
# salaryx_django/celery.py

from __future__ import absolute_import
import os
from celery import Celery
from django.conf import settings

# set the default Django settings module for the 'celery' program.
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'salaryx_django.settings')
app = Celery('salaryx_django')

# Using a string here means the worker will not have to
# pickle the object when using Windows.
app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings')
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)


@app.task(bind=True)
def debug_task(self):
    print('Request: {0!r}'.format(self.request))

# salaryx_django/settings.py

# CELERY STUFF
BROKER_URL = 'redis://localhost:6379'
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'redis://localhost:6379'
CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT = ['application/json']
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_TIMEZONE = 'Europe/London'

The workers are intiated

You also have to run beat.

From beat entries documentation

The add_periodic_task() function will add the entry to the beat_schedule setting behind the scenes

Simply running celery -A salaryx_django beat in another process should get you going. Read docs for more info.
