    Project Variables not available to manually run tasks

    JP · 1 · Last reply by JP

    If I create a Project with a Project Variable. When a profile runs a task flashing that variable it appears. If I run that task manually the variable appears unset. This means I find debugging tasks that use project variables is difficult.

    variable AND following with a list of variables with OR

    anonymized · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Experienced Tasker user here. When there is Task Action If/Then that using both AND, and OR (such as, when there is Global Variable and there is AND that following with a list of Global Variables with OR, then it seems there is one bug in Tasker. Apparently, it didn't recognize the first variable when following with AND and then list of OR values. It does appear to be bug of Tasker as I am writing here, so will show example below in case if I am overlooking something so you can see for yourself.

    Variable Add/Subtract doesn't behave as documented

    StaffanT · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Without using AutoTools Regex I find no easy way to test if a variable is all numeric or not. So I tried Variable Add with an increment value of zero but instead of being ignored as the documentation says, it ends with an error and terminates the task. May I suggest that the two actions be allowed to continue in case of an error, and the documentation be changed accordingly.

    Dark mode switches off aod

    Hannes Klostermann · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    On the pixel 4a, if I choose to activate dark mode when the screen goes off (to get a black notification background on the AOD) it for some reason deactivates the AOD entirely. I tried triggering the task by event display off and by display state off. The only action in the task is dark mode: on. Whenever the screen goes off the AOD shows for a brief moment and then disappears. Any idea why this happens?

    oauth2: HTTP Auth method oauth2 does not replace the last refresh_token with the new refresh_token

    Bryan B · 4 · Last reply by Bryan B

    When the HTTP Auth action using oauth2 uses a previously stored refresh_token to refresh both the access and refresh tokens, the auth server returns new access and refresh tokens, but tasker is not replacing the old refresh_token with the new refresh_token. Tasker continues to use the older refresh_token, which technically has not expired, but the server side deletes the older refresh_token since the server knows it just issued a new refresh_token.

    When tasker subsequently tries to refresh the access token, it uses the older, no longer valid, refresh token and, of course, authentication fails.

    The oauth2 spec is long and

    Wifi not turning on in morning

    Matt · 1 · Last reply by Matt

    I'm having an issue where my profile which turns on Wifi at 7 AM will activate but does not actually turn on the wifi. It used to work but no longer does so I'm not sure if it's something to do with OneUI 3.0 or an update to tasker but neither the profile or task has changed. Have no issues with turning off wifi or turning on/off bluetooth or gps.

    GDList return wrong times in gd_time

    Domenico Romano · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I think that Tasker wrongly subtracts the local timezone from the time returned from Google Drive API (that it's already GMT/UTC). So if I have a GMT+3 timezone, the time returned in gd_time is 3 hours less than it should be.

    export task with java code

    Good afternoon,

    I have a task that uses java code to get the call log, I then filter to get rejected calls or just last 5 calls or whatever, everything works fine in tasker, but when I export the task to an app it does not work, I inserted a vibration at the begining and at the end, so I know that the task is starting, but after the first vibration it does nothing more, no java code and no last vibration.

    So, is java code accepted in exported tasks? ... if yes, then what do I have to do

    tasker on the pixel 5 will NOT run any profiles

    Ever since I upgraded to the Pixel 5 I can't get Tasker to do anything at all. I used to have a profile that would run when connected to my car's BT. That no longer works. I tried changing the profile to trigger when I started my podcasts app (Pocket Casts) and that didn't work either.

    In addition, I keep getting the message to install ADB on my phone. Well, I've tried that several times using the instructions provided but, apparently, it hasn't worked.

    Help! Please.

    Tasker has no access to files created by AutoNotification

    Xavier Althoff · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello!

    I've found this problem a handful of times on reddit etc., but I can't seem to find any fix (except maybe rooting my device, which I would like to avoid at this point).

    I used to get a .png from a notification using AutoNotification and I could send that image via a POST Request in Tasker to a nodejs server. However, when using the path 0/Android/data/com.joaomgcd.autonotification/etc... in the request, I get a permission denied error.

    I am aware it has something to do with the way Android 11 handles scoped storage, however, wouldn't it be possible for AutoNotification to

    Couldn't toggle airplane mode with ADB Wifi (Android 6.0, no root)

    Hey!

    I want to enable Airplane Mode on my phone using Tasker action.

    There is a simple action named AirplaneON:

    Airplane Mode [Set: On]

    I have already configured Tasker and ADB according to the guides:

    • ADB Setup
    • ADB Wifi Permission
    • Write Secure Settings Permission

    ADB Wifi actions are working after that, like test. 

    But when I try to launch my  EnableAirplaneMode action, i have the following error:

    Get Location v2 doesn't return %gl_time_seconds in Android6

    WANG · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I used the "Get Location v2" function to get time from the return value %gl_time_seconds.

    It works very well in Android 10, but the same task doesn't work in Android 6, %gl_time_seconds keeps unset while %gl_latitude %gl_longitude can work correctly.

    AutoNotification not working on Samsung A51 with the new One UI 3.0

    StaffanT · 3 · Last reply by StaffanT

    Hi Joao, as I reported here (https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/m54otc/autonotification_toast_intercept_has_stopped/) I can no longer intercept toast and notifications since I installed the latest update by Samsung on my Android 11 device. I don't know which version of AN I was using after (re?)installing 4.3.0beta but now nothing works, no log entries, nothing, nothing. The only thing is that I get an AN notification saying "Intercepting Toasts" but that's it. What is interesting though is that after installing v4.1.4 (after I dropped out of beta testing), the AN log now contains some entries like this:

    • New intercepted Notification:
    • Title: Checking Tasker Condition 
    • Text: Running...;
