Bizarre task execution behaviour

[Daniel Matthews]

I've got a task which turns BT off the notifies visa a toast and alert.

If I perform the BT off after the notifications everything works as expected, but if I perform the BT OFF first then the notifications, the notifications never fire.

Here's the task description:

```
Task: BT off
Settings: Abort Existing Task

A1: Stop [ ]
    If  [ %BLUE eq off ]

A2: Perform Task [
     Name: BT cancel timer & notification
     Priority: %priority+1 ]

A3: If [ %OsSupportsBtChange != 1 ]

    A4: Perform Task [
         Name: Toast
         Priority: %priority+1
         Parameter 1 (%par1): {
             "message": "BT change not supported",
             "title": "BT",
             "category": "%Category_Bluetooth",
             "icon": "android.resource://net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/drawable/mw_device_bluetooth"
         }
         Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]

    A5: Stop [ ]

A6: End If

<bug: turning off before stops notify and toast running>
A7: [X] Bluetooth [
     Set: Off ]

A8: Perform Task [
     Name: Notify
     Priority: %priority+1
     Parameter 1 (%par1): {
         "message": "BT turned off at %TIME.<br/>Last known battery level: %PreviousBatteryLevel%",
         "title": "%BtLastDevice",
         "useNotify": %NotifyBtBatteryWhenBtTurnedOff,
         "category": "%Category_Bluetooth",
         "icon": "android.resource://net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/drawable/mw_device_bluetooth"
     }
     Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]

A9: Perform Task [
     Name: Toast
     Priority: %priority+1
     Parameter 1 (%par1): {
         "message": "BT turned OFF",
         "title": "BT",
         "category": "%Category_Bluetooth",
         "icon": "android.resource://net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/drawable/mw_device_bluetooth"
     }
     Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]

A10: Bluetooth [
      Set: Off ]


```

No-one else experienced execution not continuing when turning off BT?

When troubleshooting and posting for help you should always break it down to its simplest form. If the simplest from works then slowly add your old code back in until it breaks..

This works for me....

    Task: test bluetooth

    

    A1: Bluetooth [

         Set: Off ]

    

    A2: Flash [

         Text: working

         Continue Task Immediately: On

         Dismiss On Click: On ]

I already did, that doesn't work for me either, the flash doesn't appear.

Did you set the action option "Continue Task on Error"? Its possible an error condition was thrown, which will stop the task execution. You can then check for an error after the action, and flash the error message if there is one.

[Daniel Matthews]

Yes, I did check that, no error, and execution stops at the BT off step. So strange.
