I'm developing a plugin that automatically imports gradebook from CSV-file in server.
I have following files on my plugin directory (local/flagimport/):
version.php
settings.php
db/tasks.php
classes/task/import_gradebook.php
I have tried incrementing version number and reinstalling plugin but it doesn't add my scheduled task anywhere and task doesn't run.
What am I doing wrong?
Contents of my plugins files:
Content of import_gradebook.php: pastebin.com/ppAEtr5m
Content of tasks.php: pastebin.com/3NPsDBry
Content of version.php: pastebin.com/ZADkTsvC
Content of settings.php: pastebin.com/iJRc9bkB
Hi
I think it is bug in Moodle, scheduled tasks implemented in local plugins are not performed by cron job
core\plugininfo\local does not overwrite get_enabled_plugins method, it returns NULL for all local plugins
get_next_scheduled_task method checks if plugin is enabled,
if ($plugininfo) {
if (!$task->get_run_if_component_disabled() && !$plugininfo->is_enabled()) {
$lock->release();
continue;
}
}
is_enabled() returns NULL for all local plugins so task is not performed
You're right, Adrian - it was fixed in 2.8.1 with MDL-48156. If you're not on a Moodle version >= 2.8.1 it looks like it would be pretty safe to backport.
The bug you've linked to only affected 2.8 so you wouldn't need to backport anything to a version prior to that - I can confirm scheduled tasks from local plugins are working fine in the 2.7 branch as we're using that here
