[CLOSED] Tasks stop running after store.save() is called

[peter.campbell]

Hi,

I'm having a strange problem when using a task manager.

I'm trying to essentially poll, say every 5 mins, and check if a text editor control has been changed; if it has, I'm updating a store with the changed text content and then triggering the stores .save() method (which uses an UpdateProxy).

The problem is that after I've triggered the .save() (which is all fine, it saves) the tasks seem to stop running. They're not autoRun tasks, I trigger them when I load the related store (the one I'm saving later on).

Are TaskManager tasks meant to stop after a DirectEvent or something like that?

    <ext:TaskManager runat="server" ID="taskDraftSaver">
        <Tasks>
            <ext:Task TaskID="taskDrafts" Interval="10000" AutoRun="false">
                <Listeners>
                    <Update Fn="syncStoreWithEditor" />
                </Listeners>
            </ext:Task>
        </Tasks>
    </ext:TaskManager>

syncStoreWithEditor:

var syncStoreWithEditor = function (taskRunCount) {
    if (typeof pnlDocumentEditor_IFrame != "undefined" || taskDraftSaver.task[0].executing) {
        var editor = pnlDocumentEditor_IFrame.eong;
        if (storeClientReportDocuments.getCount() > 0 && (typeof editor != "undefined")) {
            if (editor.hasContentChanged()) {
                var record = storeClientReportDocuments.getById(cboReportList.getSelectedItem().value);
                record.set(cboReportView.getSelectedItem().text.split(' ').join(''), editor.getBodyFragment());
                var s = storeClientReportDocuments.save();
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}

.. on the UpdateProxy Save handler, I'm calling

taskDraftSaver.startAll()

. This doesn't appear to actually be starting the polling again, though.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi,

Please clarify where? I just don't know about UpdateProxy's Save listener.

Did you mean Store's Save listener?

Also I'm not sure why do you need to start a task again? Where do you stop it?

Sorry. I did mean the Stores save listener:

<ext:Store ID="storeClientReportDocuments" runat="server" AutoLoad="false">
        <Listeners>
            <Load Handler="Ext.Msg.hide();taskDraftSaver.startAll();" />
            <Save Handler="lblEditoStatus.setText('Saved @ ' + new Date().toString());" />
        </Listeners>

Sorry. I wasn't clear: I'm trying to restart as it no longer fires. The javascript function syncStoreWithEditor is no longer called.

[Daniil]

Thanks for the details.

Well, a task should not bee stopped.

Could you provide a full, but simplified, sample to reproduce?

[Vladimir]

I guess that 'syncStoreWithEditor' raises javascript exception
Is it true?

[Daniil]

I should say also that there is no "task" property of TaskManager.

taskDraftSaver.task[0].executing

There is the "tasks" one.

So, it can causes a JavaScript error.

[peter.campbell]

Sorry I got caught up in other work; do you still want me to create an example? Admittedly I've not tested this outside of my project yet.

[Daniil]

If the problem persists, then sure, we need a sample to help.
