Tasker AutoInput UI Query Task Stops Running

[Travis Klein]

so I went through the steps and make sure my android stock rooted s10 running android 9, making sure auto apps should not be getting killed.

My task still just hangs and I can't figure out why.

Is there a way being rooted that i can see when exactly the autoinput app is being killed or if it is?

Or maybe a rooted way to stop it from being killed.

I followed all the steps on the website but the task still hangs.

thanks for any help!

Most of the time if it hangs, it means AutoInput cannot find what you wanted. What actions are you trying to perform?

Anyway for me to diagnose this hanging vs the app being killed?

thanks so much for the help btw :)

I see. Could you please export the task description? Easier to read that way. Long click on the task name, click the 3 dots, export, description, and paste it here. Thanks.

Your task is still visible because it is being "quoted" in your follow up posts. Probably should delete all your posts except for the first couple ones BEFORE you post again.

No need to pay anything. Most people here enjoy what they do!! Thanks anyway!

First, you need to make sure Tasker and the AI plug-in are not killed. Take a look here:

https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/faqs/faq-problem.html#00

Second, when you say your task hangs, which action hangs? All along, I was assuming the AI UI Query. Is that the case? Or is it actually another action?

[Travis Klein]

definitely made sure tasker and also autoinput are apps that are excluded from being killed with that link you sent. Auto input runs in the foreground, not optimized.

when I say hangs I mean none of the "flash" output on the screen are showing like when I notice the task is running. the task is still active because I have my exit task set to make a sound, and when I see the "flash" outputs stop and I change apps back to tasker from the original app I see it is lit up in green for a split second and then it enters the exit task when I switch back to tasker I see it change from green to black.

I don't exactly know where it hangs or stops running, I just can see that the "flash" outputs stop showing up so I  can assume those lines of code are not being executed so it is "hung up" somewhere.

I'm rooted so maybe there is a way to check if autoinput is actually being killed or not. I have all the autoinput notifications active so they are in the notification bar so maybe it is not being killed like I'm assuming?

First, we need to know whether it is the AI UI Query action that hangs. Please try this:

1. Add a Flash "Before AI" before the AI UI Query action

2. For the AI UI Query action, tick the "Continue Task after Error" option

3. Add a Flash "After AI - %errmsg" after the AI UI Query action

Now when this task is run, take a look at the %errmsg content. If it displays "%errmsg", then the AI UI Query action is fine. If it displays "timeout", then it is the AI UI Query that hangs. Let's debug this first.

[jmjc...@gmail.com]

That means the AI UI Query action ran just fine and the problem is somewhere else in your task.

Put Flash actions in different sections of the task to find out exactly where the task hangs. Or you can use the Runlog feature in Tasker to see which action fails.

The last thing I'm seeing flashed when it stops is the %errmsg which has no value I assume

Maybe I could make these error message write to a file?

can we remove the task from the replies? I will delete what I can.

something weird is happening, I am only seeing the "before AI" flash and then the "%errmsg" flash when there is no data to read.  it should be flashing more than that.

Also I should know that these are flashing over all types of apps not just a selected active app in the profile

Here are some log files.  My stop task plays a beep so I can tell when it runs and when something is just hung up in tasker.

I'm trying to understand these log files. I have added some flashing also but what I see last is always %errmsg, I will add more debug flashing.

these are the log files
