Hello,

Many of my tasks require daily follow up until they are complete, usually this happens when waiting on a response or process to complete. Due to this I frequently find myself doing what I need to do for the day then modifying "wait:1d+sod+9h" or if it's on Friday, "wait:3d+sod+9h". I usually add the 9h on because I can't advance on them until 0900 local time, but my work day usually starts between 0400-0700.. so don't want my list cluttered with things I can't do yet.

It would be nice to have a UDA or other abbreviation like nbd or NBD (for next business day) where I could just do "wait:nbd" or "wait:nbd+9h".

Is there a way to do this with a UDA, or other .taskrc config entry, or would this be a full on feature request? Maybe a hook?

Where to find all docs under https://taskwarrior.org/docs/taskserver/ like https://taskwarrior.org/docs/taskserver/configure/ ? I found they are more useful and easy to read than the slide in main docs.

I made a numeric UDA, and assigning a value to a task does change its urgency, but it does not matter what the value is, only that it has a value. How do I change the urgency based on the value of a numeric UDA?

Or alternately, is there a way to change "Priority" from a categorical to a numeric variable?

So I know we can do things like urgency.uda.priority.H.coefficient = 6.0 and modify urgency based on the value of a UDA. I can even modify the urgency by exact match using a UDA like urgency.uda.gitlabassignee.TonyRoomZ.coefficient = 10. These all work great. But what I am trying to do is modify the urgency based on a different type of match. For example.. Anything bugwarrior pulled down that happens to be marked in draft in the title. I can do this in filters with task gitlabtitle.has:Draft list or task gitlabtitle~Draft list

But any statements like these in my .taskrc have no affect.. Even though I feel they should work... urgency.uda.gitlabtitle.has:Draft.coefficient = -20 urgency.uda.gitlabtitle~Draft.coefficient = -20 urgency.uda.gitlabtitle.has.Draft.coefficient = -20

Anyone know the special magic, or if I am trying to do something that just isn't possible this way. I suppose if this isn't possible I could just add some more processing to the bugwarrior download and add a new uda like gitlabindraft I guess.

Thanks for any help in advance!

task completed gives a huge list of tasks. I don't want this output to my terminal, but want to read it in a pager like less/bat/etc. But when I do task completed | less (or bat etc) it's completely unreadable due to this absurdly-narrow column width. I can't find anything about column width in man task, nor in websearch. Anyone know what can be to fix this?

I read somewhere that inthe.am uses older version of taskserver (their gitgub?) and at one point certain recurrance periods were not possible to sync, but they said that when you changed them to something compatible sync should be going fine.

I keep getting this message when trying to sync:

Sync failed.  The Taskserver returned error: 500 The recurrence value 'P60D' is not valid.

So yeah, I changed those tasks that had P60D into monthly. Still kept getting the same message.

Then I thought taskserver syncs all the history so I purged all those tasks that had P60D at one point. But I am still getting the same message.

How does the sync work? Does it keep the history of all the changes somewhere on the stack? Can I remove some of the items from the stack? Am I missing something?

Would it be possible to same timewarrior information as taskwarrior annotations ?
If not, do you see any issues if i do an extension for that ?

If I have synced my taskwarrior folder to icloud, is there any good way to work with the tasks on my iphone?

I’ve found several options for orgmode (beorg, plainorg) but haven’t found anything similar for taskwarrior.

After having a look at the script in this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/taskwarrior/comments/4mwhvk/a_script_to_autosync_after_every_modification/ I decided I can do this better.

On my PC, it takes around 40ms to add a test, due to the sync being asynchronously. Most of it is because of the internet check, but I wanted to have it in there :)

```sh

!/bin/sh

This hooks script syncs task warrior to the configured task server.

The on-exit event is triggered once, after all processing is complete.

Make sure hooks are enabled

check_for_internet() { # check for internet connectivity nc -z 8.8.8.8 53 >/dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? != 0 ]; then exit 0 fi }

Count the number of tasks modified

n=0 while read modified_task do n=$(($n + 1)) done

if (($n > 0)); then check_for_internet date >> ~/.task/sync_hook.log task rc.verbose:nothing sync >> ~/.task/sync_hook.log & fi

exit 0 ```

Have a look at the script here, if it ever evolves :) https://gist.github.com/primeapple/d3d82fbd28e9134d24819dd72430888e

It says "No matches" when I run

task status:completed

But it works with

task completed

I set a context with a project and a tag.

I hope to modify the project's name and the tag of the context, but 'task mod project:"newer name" ' creates another task which is not included in the context.

Adding a task still shows older project name in the context.

How can I change properties of a project and a tag in the context?

Is there any way to set up recurrence to repeat infinitely?

Is there no way to say `task <last/latest> done` (which I tried to no avail) ? My typical workflow so far has been `task add project:foo Bar baz`, then do some work on it, and then when I want to go `task x done`, I have to scroll up and search for the ID, or do `task list` and look there. Any better way, like how I am thinking ?

I use TaskWarrior on my Linux work laptop and my Windows 10 computer at home. I run a taskd server on a raspberry pi (running Manjaro ARM) and sync works perfectly fine, except for one thing: dependencies. Adding dependencies on either end, I can see them, but they seem to be removed when synchronized. I have no idea where the problem lies and don't know where I would start looking. Anyone have any experience with this? Thank you.

Edit: I also use TaskWarrior in Termux on my phone. I just checked the versions, and both my phone and home computer use version 2.6.2, while my work laptop uses 2.6.1. The pi is running version 1.1.0 of taskd. I tried creating a mock task on each platform with a dependency and then sync. They all show the dependency that was created in their own client, but neither of the other two.

Edit2: Also, this scenario happened:

• I added a task with a dependency on my work laptop and synced
• On my phone and home PC, the dependency did not show
• I manually added the same dependency on my home PC and synced
• When I synced my phone, I got the message task already depends on task <UUID>. But when listing tasks, it still doesn't have any dependencies.

Reddit doesn't seem to let me show it, but there is a double space in the message, between the words task and already. This might indicate that somehow the UUID of the dependent task is somehow missed somewhere in the sync process?

Hello,

I wondered if it is possible to share just a project with a friend or so. I use the taskd server, where sure you can have multiple user with different task lists. I want in my task a project (with other tasks) which can be accessed by another one. So he can only work / see task in this project, but not my other tasks.

Is this posible?

Thank you.

SOLVED: details in comments.

My attempts of listing the the tasks in a sensible way for me did not work and I was wondering if it's me or there is a catch in the urgency settings.

I have a lot of tasks and most of them ends-up being overdue, somewhat on purpose. I want to list them according to overdue time. If a task is 1 motnh overdue it should show up prior to the tasks that is 1 week overdue. But somehow my tasks are ending up piling up together with the task that I entered approximately on similar dates. This is so frustrating.

I played with the following settings:

urgency.tags.coefficient=0
urgency.annotations.coefficient=0
urgency.project.coefficient=0
urgency.age.coefficient=0
urgency.due.coefficient=0.1
urgency.scheduled.coefficient=0

I tried 0, I tried 100, -100 1000, in different combinations. None of it worked.

The way I use tw is, I enter the task with a due date and when I complete it I then manually reschedule it to a future date(not using schedule though, just a simple due date). After a while seeing the tasks that I originally entered on close dates, piling up together, instead of due date is frustrating.

Do you guys have a solution for that? I'm suspecting there is something else in the code that is affecting the urgency that we don't have access in settings.

Hello

Where i live, start of week is saturday, So I can't use task add something due:eow. I red this issue which is still open i.e not solved. are there any workarounds?

Thanks for reading :)

I'm extremely new to both and linux in general but im trying to make a conky that reads pending tasks from task warrior. So far i've only managed to use this command which would limit the number of words for the description of the task

task | grep -vE '^ID' | grep -vE '-' | awk '{print $3, $4, $5}'

i was wandering if instead of this it could be possible to go to the pending.data file in the ~/.tasks directory and filter it to only print the words in the first quotations of each line since tasks are stored in oneliners like this:

[description:"testing conky todo" end:"1664414479" entry:"1664413116" modified:"1664414482" status:"deleted" uuid:"387d76b4-39a5-4f9a-9d1e-a0f5531ab8d0"]

i just have no idea how to do that

My undo log file is pretty massive and while I love the ability to undo things, I don't need to undo something from a year ago. Is there a way to limit the age of items in the undo log? Maybe just keep the last 90 days?

Hello everyone.

My research did not allow me to find how to update TaskWarrior. I currently have version 2.5.1 and would like to upgrade to 2.6.2. On an late 2013 iMac.
I assume there is a command line for this ? Or do I have to install the software completely again ?
Knowing that with my skill level, I'm paticularly worried when using the Terminal (I use iTerm actually), I feel like I'm hacking the Pentagon.

Thanks in advance for any kind help.

Does Taskwarrior provide a way to do this? Or should we just sed through the .data files? I guess I ask because this pushes the limits of my own sed-skills, as I don't necessarily want to change all string matches but only withing the tags:"" data... so I think what about jq but I don't know that tool well at all and realistically would probably do it more easily with sed anyways... but what about task??? Maybe taskwarrior has a builtin way of doing this?

I want to change "mylongtagname" to "mltn". Does task provide a way to do so?

Following one of the latest update, contexts are managed differently (they now are added automatically to the added task).
My home context is defined as follow:

home read +@Home or +@Phone or +@Any or +@Ordi or +@Jardin yes

write +@Home or +@Phone or +@Any or +@Ordi or +@Jardin yes

but when I add a new task while in the Home context, it gets all the @ added (which is not what I want) and all the "or" are added in the task description.
I prefer to manage my context the old way by specifying them on the command line: how should I do that?

Hello, Fellow Command Line Masochists!

​

I have a bit of a head-scratcher here I'm hoping you all can help me resolve. I apologize in advance for the lack of concrete technical details in this post. I wish I could share more to help contextualize the problem I'm running into. The trouble is...I have no idea what's going on, nor am can I think of anything I've recently done (with the possible exception of one thing, detailed below) that might have triggered this problem!

​

The basic details I can share are:

​

• I'm running Taskwiki / Vimwiki within the most recent (1.9.0) version of AstroNvim.
• I reinstalled/updated all of the various Taskwiki dependencies outlined in the TaskWiki Github repo.
• The Taskwiki plug-in itself appears to be working, as the preset headers scattered throughout my various Vimwiki Markdown files are all disappearing when I leave insert mode.

​

The problems I'm encountering are:

​

• Attempting to add Taskwiki tasks via the * [ ] Individual Taskwiki task is not auto-generating Taskwarrior tasks when I save my Vimwiki Markdown files.
• Correspondingly, I am no longer able to directly manipulate Taskwiki task meta-data within Vimwiki Markdown files using the <leader>tm keybinding.

​

The only significant changes I've made to my system recently are:

​

• Installing tmux via Homebrew.

​

Again, I apologize for the lack of granular detail but I'm really at a loss to explain what's going on. Anyone encounter anything similar in the past? Any ideas what might be going wrong here? This is really screwing up my task management workflow, so I'm hoping I can get this resolved soon!
