Cron bug

Post by John P »

Every cron started by the board is locked in RC3.

Starting the cron in cli is running perfect.

Believe because in cron.php when the task is ready and starts there is only the garbage collection left and no releas anymore.

Is this correct?

There is a bug with the search system. It should be fixed in RC3 (2 PRs are awaiting)

I know, but I see this behavior on all cron jobs started by website traffic..
The search bug I already fixed according to your solution but the lock is still there.
I believe it's because the release is never made in cron.php.

I also use cli and they are also displayed in shell.
Installed debug tools from Tristan but enabled or disabled is the same effect.

But there is a bug report from him, look at viewtopic.php?f=81&t=45997#p268463

Yes I call forum index in another tab and cronjobs are moved from "ready to run" to "not ready task" one by one.
After the interval time the get back in "ready to run"

Did you delete the garbage_collection() after $task->run(); in cron.php?
