Taskwarrior: Activity

Bug #1191 (New): Regression: cannot "task execute" scripts which call taskwarrior anymore

2013-03-05T03:37:46+00:00

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a file /tmp/test.sh:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello" 
task next
echo "bye bye!"

2. Call "task execute /tmp/test.sh"

 $ task execute /tmp/test.sh
 Hello

The execute command seems to block any other call of taskwarrior which queries the database. Thus I assume this might be caused by redundant file locking.

Feature #44: Atomic file writes

2013-03-05T01:27:47+00:00

Any news on this?

Nope. No patches received either.

I've just lost half of my pending.data because I pressed Ctrl+C in a wrong moment. :(

Don't do that. If you don't have a backup copy, the pending.data can be recreated from undo.data using "task merge".

Bug #1185: manpages should be installed from ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}

2013-03-05T01:24:24+00:00

Done. Rather than apply the 9395a4.diff, I just ran:

$ git revert 9395a4

As I wrote in message #2, you need to undo commit 9395a4, too.

Bug #1190 (New): Redmine version too low for bugwarrior

2013-03-04T17:40:36+00:00

I submitted a feature request at https://github.com/ralphbean/bugwarrior/issues/62 to "expand redmine example using taskwarrior.org". The idea being that if bugwarrior was a program that pulled from numerous issue-tracking systems (including redmine) to a taskwarrior installation, then the bugwarriorrc example for a redmine site, should use working taskwarrior.org co-ordinates. Makes sense right?

The trouble is that the taskwarrior.org redmine install is (reportedly) 0.9.7 and bugwarrior currently requires features that were introduced in redmine 1.0.x

Ugrade time?

Feature #484 (Rejected): task cost < filter >

2013-03-03T16:04:23+00:00

Obviated by UDAs and "task properties"

Bug #1181 (Closed): Recurrence.indicator column too wide

2013-03-03T04:37:56+00:00

Marking as fixed. While I never saw exactly what Max saw, I did see column width errors for single-character columns. Those appear to be fixed now, probably due to several word-wrapping and data length issues being fixed.

Bug #1087 (Closed): Task/line count wrong

2013-03-03T04:10:47+00:00

Bug #1185 (Closed): manpages should be installed from ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}

2013-03-02T23:40:29+00:00

Applied. Thank you.

Bug #1186 (Rejected): please silence "TASKRC override: ..." messages

2013-03-02T23:29:17+00:00

Already supported.

The message can be silenced by removing 'header' as a verbosity token. See 'man taskrc', look for 'verbose='.

Bug #1188: filters with inner quotes give different results

2013-03-02T23:25:38+00:00

Parsing bug, confirmed in 2.2.0. Deferring until the parser release.

Bug #1187: please include tests in source tarball

2013-03-02T23:20:43+00:00

The tests are in the code repository, but have additional dependencies, namely Perl and the JSON module. I'm not sure anyone outside development needs them. Can you elaborate on why this is a good idea?

Bug #1189 (Closed): East Asian character width is not treated correctly when printed out

2013-03-02T23:11:03+00:00

Excellent catch, Roy. Thank you.

Using your data, I found that taskwarrior was not calculating widths, but was just calculating character counts - a silly and widespread error.
