request.retries comes in as null in the celery worker

[edu2004eu]

I'm trying to retry tasks if they fail, using a back-off mechanism:

self.retry(exc=e, countdown=int(random.uniform(2, 4) ** self.request.retries))

When sending tasks from Python's celery, everything works well. Using celery-php to send tasks throws an error when reaching the code above, saying that self.request.retries is None.

Python's celery automatically sends request.retries as 0 on the first schedule of the task.

I am also trying to implement the retry and having the same issue.

@edu2004eu did you have any progress on the following issue?

I am checking whether request.retries is set in the worker, and if not, I set it to 0. My worker is Python, so I have:

    if self.request.retries is None:
        self.request.retries = 0

    self.retry(exc=e, countdown=int(random.uniform(2, 4) ** self.request.retries))
