    Folder Monitor profile event malfunction

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello Joao, I would like to report a bug that persists in this version I think. But not really sure if it's an error or if Tasker should work like this way actually.   + > Profile (event) > File > (all of them)   The "bug" is that if there is more than one profile monitoring the same directory (e.g. /Download), the following will happen: If both profiles are enabled, only one of them will get fired (the last created one most of the times). If one of the profiles is disabled, the other won't get fired. Here doesn't

    Alarm Changed is not triggering when last alarm is off

    Stefan · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Even when there's suddenly no more next alarm because the last alarm already occurred or the next alarms are turned off the Alarm Changed event should trigger. All variables like na_time should be not set in the event to indicate there's no next alarm.

    JS writeFile append parameter ignored

    Friedrich Hehl · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    The "append" parameter for the JS function "writeFile()" described in the wiki here seems to be ignored and is always set to false.

    To reproduce this issue:

    1. Create a task with the Javascriptlet
    2. Run the task and look for "log.txt". Check that "some random text" appears on line 1.
    3. Go back to the task and change "some random text" into "text to append".
    4. Run the task again.
    5. Check log.txt and see that "some random text" has disappeared and only "text to append" is visible.

    Can anyone reproduce?

    I am running Tasker 5.7.2 on Android 8.0.0.

    Tasker monitor unnecessarily wakes phone up every single minute if there are any time contexts

    Ben · 6 · Last reply by Ben

    If I have any time contexts (eg. instant context that runs at 09:00, or a time context that repeats every hour), the tasker monitor wakes up every single minute.  Nothing appears in the run log for this obviously, however you can see it in Battery historian and in the tasker debug log.  Disabling all time contexts stops this from happening.  Enabling a single simple time context causes the activity.  The problem occurs no matter if "Use Reliable Alarms" is enabled or not.

    Debug log:

    Tasker crashes if Get voice doesnt recognize speech

    Ray Gllisse · 2 · Last reply by Ray Gllisse

    If there's no answer when a get voice action is launched, Tasker crashes instead of continuing to next action.

    That's important to me, as I'd like to use voice control to acknowledge being alive and safe in mountain, and if not, I might not be able to answer, the lack of answer repeatedly 3 times would be the signal to send sms to rescue team.

    It can work only if get voice action doesnt make Tasker crash in case of lack of answer

    Thanks for your help

    Testing if indirectly referenced variable is set generates error in the Tasker editor; Workround given.

    Steve Waring · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    With the following task, if lines three to five are not deactivated, then the error shown below will pop up when the tasker editor is started, if you edit the task. That is, just open up the task, don't change it, close it, close the tasker editor, open the tasker editor and the error dialogue shown will pop up. There is no need to run the task to get the error message. Lines three to five actualy work fine, you just get an error message every time you edit the task.

    Autoweb - failure from system when editing API config

    Akalsharan · 0 · Posted

    I'm trying to Edit the AP Config of a web service that I've added to Autoweb so that I can hide the sensitive details and then share it. But it comes up with a "failure from system" error when I try to edit the config. If I copy and paste the web service, I get the same error with the pasted web service.

    I've not encountered this before.  For all the other APIs in my AutoWeb app, I can Edit configs without issue. I've tried restarting my phone. There's nothing about the error in the AutoWeb log (detailed logs selected). The

    "Alarm done" does not work after update

    David LA · 2 · Last reply by David LA

    I have recently updated my system rom and Gapps packages. The new clock app is now slightly different (which is very cool and with assistant now integrated). It seems tasker has stopped recognising when my alarm is done and my profile is not triggering any more. Any fixes for that?

    Tasker sometimes returns/detects a zero as caller id

    Alessandro Perna · 2 · Last reply by Alessandro Perna

    A few months ago i was having trouble with a profile that sends an SMS prompting an unknown (not in address book) contact to identify itself. The profile sometimes stopped sending the SMS so i added a second text file that logs every caller id regardless. Since then everything seemed to work fine until a few days ago when the app, once again, did not send the SMS as instructed. It turns out that tasker detects a zero as a caller id when in fact it is plainly visible in the call logs. Is this a known bug?
