Hi,<br> I need to run overnight daily tasks to update the Events in models.py, if, in the past, the Event status changed to "Completed" in the database.
I set up the tasks.py file with the functions to do this, and added file to Tasks in PA:
/home/myusername/project_name/my_app/tasks.py
Within tasks.py I have:
from .models import Events
Which gave me an error:
from .models import Events
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
Also changing to:
import my_app.models
or
from my_app.models import Events
gave me an example error:
from my_app.models import Events
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my_app'
The models.py is in the same directory, with __init__.py
file:
/home/myusername/project_name/my_app/models.py
Settings.py is under:
/home/myusername/project_name/my_app_2/settings.py
Manage.py is under:
/home/myusername/project_name/manage.py
What should the working directory, not have the import issue? What should I put on top of the tasks.py to import the modules.py ? os, path (absolute path)? Also, will that actually update the database? <br><br>(I don't get it, eg. views.py use import .models and no issue there, how come tasks.py have the issue if files are under the same directory? Why this is different - when adding tasks.py after the whole app went into production)
