Hi All,

Just wondering if there is some kind of cache on tasks.
I am working with one now and these are the most frustrating parts of mybb development let me tell ya!

Anyway I put some debugging and logging in the task in order to see if I could find out where things were getting to.

This works to a degree, and then if the script fails or I exit() out of it, the application seems to ignore the task every time I try to manually run it. Then after about 5 minutes it will run again.

Very odd and just wondering if anyone has experienced this.

note: I was using eaccelerator but have turned this off.

cache manager has tasks listed !

When a task is run, a TIME_NOW+300 dateline is put into the "locked" column aside the task itself. This column is being checked every time a task is run: if not empty, the task won't be executed.

To debug your code, everytime you want to execute the task you must edit the cell corresponding to YOUR TASK x "LOCKED" column, setting it to 0, either it will not be executed (despite the success message being shown) until the column will be set back to 0 by the system (this is usually done within 5 minutes, as 300s = 5 minutes).

perfect, corresponds exactly to what I was seeing but couldn't pinpoint the action.

Fixed the task already the slow way but this will help going forward.

cheers
Dan

Yeah the cache when you view it is however just a cache of the tasks and not their other details, which is why I was trying to figure out what Shade had shown.

All sorted now, but going forward for troubleshooting purposes I can have my task tggle that column to allow the task to run again straight away after break points
