Unable to start Redis Queue (RQ) worker in Python

Question

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):
  File "c:\users\jason.bracket\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main

    ) from None
ValueError: 'default' must be a list when 'multiple' is true.
make: *** [Makefile:50: start-worker-native] Error 1

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.

always put full error message (starting at word "Traceback") in question (not comment) as text (not screenshot, not link to external portal). There are other useful information. — furas

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

Install click==7.1.2 and it should be OK.

Thanks. Also github.com/rq/rq/issues/1469 suggests this should be resolved in rq==1.8.1

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

workaround: pin the click to < 8.0.

pip install "click>=7,<8"

In my case it was not only click but the celery also. However at the time of writing, the following combination works fine -

celery==5.2.7
click==8.1.3
rq==1.8.1
