    Event Time "Every" doesn't work properly

    Thenzkt · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    While i testing with the time event with the "every" option, i realized that this doesn't count correctly. I tried with the minimum of 2 min, I wanted a task to run every 2min when when I enable this profile, but it runs before the set 2min. I think this happens when you activate the profile, doesn't count the minutes correctly

    While loop in tasks stops working after a while

    Vidicanvlad01 · 3 · Last reply by Lucas

    Hello!

    I have this profile set up:

    STATE -> Variable Value ~ 1

    Task:

    A loop in which every 5 seconds it should do a http request and check whether or not it should open an app. This includes a Wait of 5 sec and a Goto 1 after the loop ended.

    This works for a while, however after 2 hours (http request no longer required the app to open), it stops working (http request now requires it to). It's just like the profile and task never existed.

    I have another profile which works fine, so Tasker isn't killed. I

    Custom DND suppressed effects remain in effect when Allow All used

    JP · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I find if I use Custom DND with a suppressed effect (tested with Peek) then set DND to 'Allow All' the suppressed effect is still in effect.

    I tested this with the following: Custom DND (with Peek suppressed) -> DND Allow All -> DND Query -> Flash %dnd_suppressed_effects().

    As a workaround I use Custom DND with no suppressed effects then DND Allow All (just to clear the DND icon)

    Turkish translation is very bad and misguiding. I could help with that but you haven't published any kind of e mail info.

    They're probably taken from Google Translate, I was able to understand them but I translated the texts two times in my head to understand it. I can help with that, let me know please.

    wrong application icon in widget

    My problem is same as in this thread, https://tasker.helprace.com/u735-michael/all/activity

    It seems it was solved using a custom build. It'll be great if i can get the same or even better if this came fixed in a Tasker update.

    Thanks. I ❤️ Tasker

    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.
