Thanks for doing that, Tomas. That was really helpful.
Even with your email and the Github example, it still wasn’t working for me…until I realized that I should restart the background job workers. In hindsight, it’s obvious that the Koha/BackgroundJob.pm would only load the plugin 1 time. It also appears that the product of “plugin_types_to_classes” is also cached too long. My background workers would’ve cached the bad code and bad mapping early in my testing. The mapping cache doesn’t have an invalidation mechanism, so if you already have 1 plugin with a background task, I don’t think it’ll allow a 2nd plugin to appear in the mapping if a task from the 1st plugin is processed before the 2nd plugin is loaded. I haven’t thoroughly investigated that though… Overall, probably best to require a restart of the background workers as well as Plack any time a plugin is added which contains a background job.

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. 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.

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 <http://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, David Cook Senior Software Engineer Prosentient Systems Suite 7.03 6a Glen St Milsons Point NSW 2061 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595 -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (https://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (https://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org <mailto:Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org> https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : https://www.koha-community.org/ git : https://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : https://bugs.koha-community.org/
