GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 552386
Repeating/Recurring Remember The Milk tasks should be supported
Last modified: 2018-07-11 22:56:28 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have a yearly task, for which today is the date (9/15). The next iterations (9/15/09) is shown in the Future section, but the one for today is absent. It appears on RTM and the igoogle application, but not in Tasque. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? No. I just created a new task that was for tomorrow that repeats every year. It appeared. Moved it to "today" and it was there. Guess I will have to wait unti tomorrow to check. Other information:
Follow-up: You can recreate this bug if you create a task that repeats yearly and have it occur "tomorrow." The next day when you launch Tasque, the task is not in "today", but it appears on the RTM site and in igoogle.

Updating summary to be more explicit. And here is a nice description from the duplicate: <quote> Completing a task in either Tasque or Online in RememberTheMilk that is a repeat task of any length causes said task to disappear from Tasque completely and not be shown again. Steps to repeat: 1. Create a repeating task in RTM online (no such feature in Tasque (yet)) 2. Complete task either Online or in Tasque 3. Task disappears in Tasque, dispite task still existing in RTM with a new due date. Attempts made: 1. Refreshing tasks 2. Restarting Tasks 3. Upgrading from v1.6 to v1.8 When I completed this repeat task, I expected it to return to Tasque with a new due date (at least). Having the task return to Tasque ON the new due date would be preferred (or at least have a configuration setting to set when a repeat task should reappear) </quote>
So I've done additional testing, and have determined that this happens when the task was not given an initial due date. There may be other variables not isolated yet. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create 2 tasks 2. Give one a due date of today 3. Set both to repeat every friday (use multi-edit (m)) 4. In tasque, complete both tasks. 5. Refresh tasks, and the task with the due date is shown with the new due date. This was tested with the latest SVN, without the Evolution backend (I didn't have the required version of evolution-sharp). Hope this helps some...

Sorry for the spam. Setting milestone to 0.1.11 aka "Enhancements Release"
Tasque is not under active development anymore and has not seen code changes for five years, and both its mailing lists have seen their last activity three years ago at https://mail.gnome.org/archives/tasque-list/ and https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tasky Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/tasque/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
