AUTO-REPEAT is not working -- any way to test, view logs, or debug?

[jpuser]

Really problematic that the smallest frequency of Auto-Repeat is “daily”. This waiting window makes testing very difficult. I’ve submitted a feature request to resolve: Auto-Repeat TEST MODE (minutes frequency) - would be useful for testing undocumented on_recurring() function. · Issue #13460 · frappe/frappe · GitHub

Anyway, currently it seems that my auto-repeat is not working at all…

I have the following set up:

It shows the next schedule date is yesterday:

But the reference document copy was NOT created by auto-repeat. So far auto-repeat has not been able to create anything.

Is there some place we can verify logs for auto-repeat and verify that it’s running?

ok I found it…

Awesomebar > Error Log List

Look for “Auto Repeat Document Creation Error” type of errors…

I see the following error:

So apparently “required by date” must be adjusted for it to work.

It would be nice if someone who knows about auto-repeat code were to help answer question here:

Can someone give simple example of how/where to use AUTO-REPEAT on_recurring() function?

Auto-repeat looks pretty awesome. The hidden / undocumented on_recurring() function would seem to create endless uses for auto-repeat. I want to try it out, but not sure what to do. Maybe someone here can help explain it to us all so we can use this amazing feature? First…this is in auto_repeat.py: #for any action that needs to take place after the recurring document creation #on recurring method of that doctype is triggered new_doc.run_method(‘on_recurring’, reference_doc = reference_doc…

because if we knew how to use auto-repeats on_recurring() feature, I think we could probably add code within that function to adjust “required by date” to = transaction date in example of this error above.

Just following up…

Auto-repeat is still not working.

My test doc type is “purchase order”

I am expecting auto-repeat to create new DRAFT Purchase Order (daily) based on my reference_doc, but nothing is happening.

The first time it ran, there was an error in the log that the required_by date (of the referenced purchase order) was in the past, but this was resolved. So now it is just not working.

You can check sales_order & sales invoice for using on_recurring feature

@SubhajitDey

You can check sales_order & sales invoice for using on_recurring feature

I’ve checked both and there is nothing in server script for either. Where would I see how on_recurring is used for these?

It’s called from auto repeat. You can define on_recurring on intended doctype and do some adjustment, e.g. setting reqd date in PO
