I'm experiencing the same issue using current latest docker image from eoranged/rq-dashboard:latest. I get this: ValueError: time data '' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ

I tried clearing all jobs from queues but it seems it didn't help.  

[BartlomiejSkwira]

Visually in the dashboard this looks like this for me:

1. Failed jobs

2. Click on the failed jobs - the "Loading" is displayed all the time, but failed jobs don't appear due to 500 Internal server error which you can see in the developer tools Network tab.

(*Clicking "Empty queue" doesn't do anything.)

@BartlomiejSkwira We experience the exact same problem. Whenever a job is executed, every queue/list only shows "Loading..." and failed jobs are not shown at all.

[jmandt]

@BartlomiejSkwira We solved the problem by using eoranged/rq-dashboard:latest and manually installed the newest rq version in the container. This solves the problem and everything is working fine now. Our Dockerfile looks like this now:

FROM eoranged/rq-dashboard:latest

RUN pip install rq==1.5.2

[pypeaday]

Holy crud thank you for this... I've been pulling my hair out trying to get a python-rq workflow going (due to other python requirements it's far from trivial) but this error was driving me crazy... The custom dockerfile fix is easy so thanks!

[fakegermano]

Yeah, the current requirements.txt for the project fixes rq to 1.3, but there were changes on 1.5 that broke datetimes.

props to @jmandt for finding the fix

ill try and make a PR to update the rq version, should fix this for people that install the package as well as use the docker image

[anton-petrov]

1. Create Dockerfile

   FROM eoranged/rq-dashboard:latest
   RUN pip install rq==1.8.1

2. Run from terminal docker build -t rq-dashboard:latest .

3. Enjoy :)

4. If you need docker-compose.yml

   my_rq_dashboard:
   image: rq-dashboard:latest
   environment:
     - RQ_DASHBOARD_REDIS_URL=redis://my_redis:6379
     - RQ_DASHBOARD_USERNAME=rq
     - RQ_DASHBOARD_PASSWORD=rq
   ports:
     - "10000:9181"
   depends_on:
     - my_redis
   links:
     - my_redis

Can confirm, issue was fixed by updating rq !

If you still see this issue, try using the latest version of rq-dashboard (0.8, not 0.6) from cjlapao/rq-dashboard:latest
