It is possible to test tasks synchronously using any unittest lib out there. I normaly do 2 different test sessions when working with celery tasks. The first one (as I'm suggesting bellow) is completely synchronous and should be the one that makes sure the algorithm does what it should do. The second session uses the whole system (including the broker) and makes sure I'm not having serialization issues or any other distribution, comunication problem.
So:
from celery import Celery
celery = Celery()
@celery.task
def add(x, y):
return x + y
And your test:
from nose.tools import eq_
def test_add_task():
rst = add.apply(args=(4, 4)).get()
eq_(rst, 8)
Hope that helps!
