Issues creating a functioning recurrence

Added by ComCareIT almost 5 years ago

Dear,

I´m sorry if this is the wrong place, but I did not find a better location to get in touch.

I´ve tried many different variants and don´t seem to get any recurrence to work (Redmine 4.0.2.stable).
No matter what I do, the ticket status always remains unchanged if I set to modify the issue in place.
Also Copies are not created if I set to copy.

I don´t expect support but it would be greatly appreciated.

Or is there any kind of documentation on how to set up a recurrence?
I´ve searched through this site and github but couldn´t find anything relevant on this topic.

Best regards,
Martin

Hello Cryptogopher,

Thank you for this job!

I'm having the same problem pointed above by MArtin. There is no task created on the day of the recurrence, and i don't have any idea about how to make it works.

Could you help us?

Best regards,

Waldir

I'm very sorry for not responding earlier. It turns out that I didn't enable e-mail notifications for forum posts (fixed!). Only now I've accidentaly stumbled upon your messages.

As for your questions:
  • there is installation instruction available on https://github.com/cryptogopher/issue_recurring#installation - make sure you follow it precisely. From what you describe I suspect, that you didn't properly configure cron task, which must regularly (at least once a day) execute and renew your recurrences. It is crucial for this task to run following command:
    RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake redmine:issue_recurring:renew_all
    

    But please follow point 6 of installation instructions for details.
  • if you set issue for in-place recurring it is required, that the issue is closed before it can recur. By "closed" I mean its status has to be set to any of Redmine issue statuses, that has green checkmark "Issue closed" (issue statuses are under https://redmine.example.com/issue_statuses),
  • after setting up recurrence scheme please check column with Next and Predicted dates. First one (if available) tells you, that on next cron task execution new recurrence will be created on specified date. Second one (if available) tells you, that new recurrence will not be created, because either all necessary recurrences are already created or you have in-place recurrence for not-closed issue.

I hope my answer will be of any help, despite coming so late.

Hi Cryptogropher,

thanks for the reply! I´ve forwarded it to my colleague, as I dont have access at this level. But I will let you know if it worked as soon as I get any feedback.

Thanks again,
Martin
