How to get which PeriodicTask is being called?

[diogosilva30]

Let's assume I have a generic task like:

@shared_task
def generic_task(**kwargs):
    pass

Now I create 2 PeriodicTask objects that both call the generic_task method above.
How can I get which PeriodicTask object is invoking the method above?

My current solution (seems kinda of a hack, not very clean):

• Creating PeriodicTask with the name also being passed as a positional argument:

name = 'My Periodic Task 1'
PeriodicTask.objects.create(name=name, description="...", task="generic_task", args=json.dumps([name]))

@shared_task
def generic_task(task_name, **kwargs):
    current_task = PeriodicTask.objects.get(name=task_name)
    pass

Is there any cleaner solution to this?
