Unable to start Redis Queue (RQ) worker in Python

Viewed 2860

I installed Python Redis Queue module using pip install rq

When I try to start the worker using rq or rq worker, it is throwing an error.

PYTHONPATH=src REDIS_HOST=localhost rq worker --with-scheduler -u redis://localhost:6379
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am running Python==3.7 and rq==1.7.0 on a Windows 10 machine. How can I start a worker? Do I need to configure anything? Any help would be appreciated.

The problem is the click package. You probably have the 8.0.0 version.

Install click==7.1.2 and it should be OK.

Use this command to uninstall the version of "click" python module and install the specific version.. but this is the temporary solution.

pip uninstall click && pip install click==7.1.2 

Command support for both Linux and windows
