Hi all. I'm wrapping a KitchenSink patch to highlight how it would be used. The background jobs themselves work, but the template side I never looked at. I thought there was some default display showing all the report metadata, but it seems all descriptions are hardcoded and a dev is required to add the ability for plugins to advertise job descriptions and have them displayed as well. [image: image.png] If you want a plugin background job, it works and you should look at the wiki (updated just now) and/or copy what I've done on the KitchenSink plugin. Regarding comments on IRC, the feature was submitted during the 2022's hackfest in an attempt to streamline the whole background jobs work by Jonathan, and was tested, QA and pushed by others. We succeeded in moving that forward, which Fridolin pushed for 22.05 and was a great improvement. Best regards El vie, 13 oct 2023 a las 3:25, David Cook (<dcook@prosentient.com.au>) escribió:
Hi all,
“Bug 30410 - Add a way for plugins to register background tasks” was pushed in Koha 22.05.00, but I can’t figure out how to make it work.
Tomas, do you have a plugin where this works?
I’ve gone through the patches, and it looks like I should have it right, but nothing I’m doing is working.
When I enqueue the job, background_jobs.pl says “Unknown job type 'plugin_blah_blah'” even though “plugin_blah_blah” exists in Koha::BackgroundJob->new->type_class_mapping and in my plugin background job’s “job_type”.
When I click “View” on the job, I get the following error: “Template process failed: file error - background_jobs/plugin_blah_blah.inc: not found at /kohadevbox/koha/C4/Templates.pm line 127”
I’ll look next week at providing a simple plugin to illustrate the problem…
Thanks,
