[tasque-list] Problem with repeating tasks

[Jon Warbrick]

I seem to be having a problem with Tasque, RTM and repeating tasks.

I have a number of tasks that repeat weekly and as far as I can tell
Tasque never displays them on the day that they are due or if they are
overdue. Today, the RTM web interface shows me four tasks that are due
today, two that are 'one offs' and two that repeat. Tasque only shows the
two 'one-offs'. Is this expected behaviour? I'd expect each instance of a
repeating task to continue to display until marked complete.

It is possible that this is related to some error messages I see each
time I refresh the task list when running Tasque in a terminal window:

[Debug]: Refreshing data...
[Debug]: Done refreshing data!
[Debug]: RtmBackend.UpdateCategories was called
[Debug]: RtmBackend.UpdateCategories is done
[Debug]: RtmBackend.UpdateTasks was called
[Debug]: Exception calling TasksGetList(list.ListID) expected '>' (3E) but
found 'EOF' (FFFFFFFF) Line 2, position 15709.
[Debug]: RtmBackend.UpdateTasks is done
[Debug]: Backend sync finished

I'm running a locally-built copy of Tasque 0.1.8 on Ubuntu 8.04.

Jon.

We don't really support repeating tasks yet:

Ouch, that is not good. RTM is giving you truncated results for some
reason. In the past this was because we sent too many requests within
the same second to RTM, and in 0.1.8 I fixed that. Do you get this
error consistently with 0.1.8? Could you do me a favor and just
double-check the version by right-clicking the Tasque icon in the
notification area, and selecting About?

Thanks,
Sandy

I doubt it. How many tasks do you have in RTM? Do you display
completed tasks?

Me neither, but I thought it worth asking.

About 30.

No.
