Ad hoc task failed to load

I've been developing a plugin with an hoc task
I have followed the ad hoc tutorial in https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Task_API. 

  1. Created file take_over_the_world.php inside /myplugin/classes/tasks
  2. imported using: require_once './classes/tasks/take_over_the_world.php';
  3. Instantiated the task inside the plugin: $domination = new take_over_the_world(); ,etc...

But i can't see my task anywhere, except in "path/to/moodle/admin/cron.php?password=xxx" where i can see the following error: 

++ Failed to load task: \take_over_the_world ++ 

* line 292 of /lib/classes/task/manager.php: call to debugging() 

* line 595 of /lib/classes/task/manager.php: call to core\task\manager::adhoc_task_from_record()

Picture of Core developers Picture of Particularly helpful Moodlers Picture of Peer reviewers Picture of Plugin developers
It would be easier if we could see some code, but my first guess would be, did you set the namespace at the top of the file to: \local_myplugin\task

(assuming 'myplugin' is a 'local' plugin, you haven't stated).

Simple as you mentioned...
  • Declared "namespace block_lancarnotas\tasks;" on top of task file named: take_over_the_world.php
  • Included with "use block_lancarnotas\tasks\take_over_the_world;" instead of require_once...
