Latest Warnings / Errors tasks widget fails to load

I’m having an issue with the warnings / errors task widget. Getting the following error:

Failure: undefined method `>’ for nil:NilClass

Here is the output I got from foreman-tail when I went to /widget/198 via my browset

Please advise on how to fix.

Thank you!

The issue here is there is a task in error state, which wasn’t even started yet and because of that its started_at field is empty and trying to format that as a time raises an error. This is a known bug and was fixed in foreman-tasks-0.10.1.

You have basically two options. One would be to use the foreman_tasks:cleanup rake task to remove to “bad” task. This approach should unblock you, but you might hit the issue again later.

export query='result = error and null? started_at'

# This command should show you how many tasks it would delete
foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup STATES='' VERBOSE=1 TASK_SEARCH="$query" NOOP=1

# If you're okay with losing those tasks, remove the NOOP=1 part
foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup STATES='' VERBOSE=1 TASK_SEARCH="$query" 

The other one would be to manually patch foreman-tasks to include the fix[1]. This approach should fix the bug for good, but is somewhat larger change than just removing the broken task.

# Change directory to foreman-tasks
cd /opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/foreman-tasks-0.10.0

# Initialize git repository so you can roll back in case things go bad
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'rpm'
git checkout -b fix/20230

# Download and apply the patch
curl -L https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-tasks/pull/273.patch | git apply
git commit -am 'patch for 20230'

# Restart httpd and foreman-tasks
systemctl restart httpd
systemctl restart foreman-tasks

Let me know if you hit any issues with it.

I decided to use the git method as it would be the easiest to roll back. That fixed the issue. Thank you for your help!
