Bug #4681
closed
unclear wording and maybe another error too

Description
I am trying to get a new task and something fails and the error msg says: "Execution of task "check4 exts - server (check4exts)" failed with the following message: Task failed to execute successfully. Class: tx_check4exts_server, UID: 3"
1st problem: wording: UID 3 is nice but in the view "scheduled task" there is no column "uid". So either delete the information from the error text or better add the uid col to the table. This doesn't need much space but would be certainly nice.
2nd problem: after creating the task I get the error message "The selected task class could not be found. You should probably contact the task's developers." The problem is that this message won't be shown to the user again anymore! If the user proceeds, there is no way to get to this message anymore without deleting the task and create it again. if this error is so important it should be stated somewhere again or the task won't be created.
funny 3rd problem: the task works, cause a mail function inside the execute() sends me a mail but I still get the error in the backend (as written in the beginning of the report here)

Hi Georg,
I agree that the UID should be displayed. I will add it.
About your task failing to execute, it's because you don't return a status from the execute() method. It's supposed to return a boolean, true if it succeeded. So it runs, but reports falsely. RTFM ;-)
About point 2, I didn't get that message. Can you give me the precise steps you took?
Hi,
so the wording is wrong because it really can be that the task will be executed. it should be more something like "the status is unclear, nothing returned".
point 2: maybe it is really not reproduceable because it could have been because of a mistake with autoloader because I created the file after placing the hook + creating the task ;) anyway what would be the way without using the autoloader?

I don't agree. The tasks are expected to return a boolean. It's written in the manual and in the phpDoc of the execute() method of tx_scheduler_Task. It's the programmer's fault in this case.

You can't. The Scheduler expects task classes to be available via the autoloader. Again all that is explained in the manual and developers should follow the guidelines to create properly working tasks.
ok all my fault - your explanation makes sense!
