I haven’t seen any post or comment about this so I figured I should create a subject for it.
After a fresh v11 to v12 upgrade - this is the error I receive when trying to create an Auto Repeat
Anybody else getting this error and having a solution ?
Likewise, anyone experiencing the same issue ? 
I have no choice. I must post again…
Really, nobody can reply regarding this subject ? not here ? not on GitHub ? Nobody ?
You have posted lots but seem to miss the point - to troubleshoot first you best give context - one line is scant to discover the problem to help your case
Have you found a traceback of your issue to post here?
Whatever you yourself have found and tried would help please
edit: reported here v12 Auto Repeat - TypeError: can’t compare datetime.date to unicode · Issue #18648 · frappe/erpnext · GitHub
Thank you for taking action Clark and for guiding me to the logs…
Here’s what I managed to pull out of frappe.log:

TypeError: can't compare datetime.date to unicode
Any opinions here guys ?
An ongoing issue which I don’t know if it’s something I can fix or perhaps a bug.
hi @Iulian_Olaru ,
Can you show…how do you set the date to these two variables start_date and today_date ?
Becoz you are comparing both date and time…!
@Iulian_Olaru Check whether it is a date field or date and time field and then if it is date field try to get these two dates in a variable and use in the if condition…it will work.
Well that sounds out of the ordinary - these fields are supposed to have the correct settings as they’re native directly from the system.
I will check but I don’t understand what to do regarding getting the dates in a variable etc…
LATE EDIT: In doctype the date fields of the auto repeat appear to be date fields, not date and time
What have you mentioned as today_date?
Obviously the date of today haha
Should it be something else ? perhaps the day of the task start date ?
LATE EDIT: I tried this also - error is the same
@Iulian_Olaru yes its your todays date but want i mean is in what format are you getting the todays date?
today_date = now_datetime().strftime(DATE_FORMAT)
from frappe.utils import flt, DATE_FORMAT,TIME_FORMAT,nowdate
Use this and try…!
Sorry because I’m not as advanced to understand what to do with the code you wrote…
Please tell me where to put it haha… your assistance is very much appreciated !
from frappe.utils import flt, DATE_FORMAT,TIME_FORMAT,nowdate
copy and paste the above code in top import function.
today_date = now_datetime().strftime(DATE_FORMAT)
if start_date <= today_date:
Use like this…!!hope you understand.
No unfortunately I’ve never done such a setting… I don’t know where frappe.utils is … I am so sorry :-))
I will keep looking to try to discover it.
@Iulian_Olaru let me help you.can you share your screen
what did you write in code for today_date? the format matters a lot
Yes I can. Let me know what you need to share. Teamviewer etc.
Thank you again
yes. send me the teamviewer id?
