$ task 20,37,36 due:Today

Task 20 "Blah"
*  due will be changed from '2011/03/15_00:00' to '2011/03/16_00:00'.
Proceed with change? (yes/no/all/quit) yes

Modified 1 task.

I would have expected one for Task 37 and another for Task 36. I would also expect that 3 tasks would be modified, not 1.

I can't recreate this under 1.9.4 on OSX. Were you not prompted before making changes to the two other tasks? Were the changes made without your authorization?

~/git/194final/src cory$ ./task 2,1,3 due:Today

Task 1 "One"
*  due will be set to '3/16/2011'.
Proceed with change? (yes/no/all/quit) yes

Task 2 "Testing"
*  due will be set to '3/16/2011'.
Proceed with change? (yes/no/all/quit) yes

Task 3 "Three"
*  due will be set to '3/16/2011'.
Proceed with change? (yes/no/all/quit) yes

Modified 3 tasks.

I received 1 confirmation message and I only typed 'yes' once and the message from Task said that 1 task was modified. However, all 3 tasks were updated as expected... simply the messages were not displayed.

I can't reacreate this neither: on OS X, ubuntu nor cygwin with default shell/terminal nor with mintty (default settings in .taskrc)

How does your .taskrc look like? What values do you have in .taskrc that are different from the default ones. Check the output of task show, please.

We can't seem to reproduce your issue. A copy of your data and .taskrc file that exhibits this problem would be really helpful. If you get into a state where you can reproduce this problem again (or if you're motivated enough to (at)task undo@ yourself back to a place where this reoccurs), please attach the relevant files to this issue. To sanitize your data, download and use the data anonymizer [[Task-anon]]. Thanks!

I would love to undo to a point in which I had the original problem... but I can't seem to undo. Looks like a loop to me... attached is my current anon output.

To be clear, I was performing the following action on cygwin:

task undo

Thanks, Aikido Guy -- if you experience the issue again, please let us know.

I have a problem with a 'duration' and 'undo' on cygwin 1.9.4 that seem related to my comments above.

task add "some task; and a bit more description" project:Career due:now recur:1month
Created task 64.
Configuration override curses=off
Configuration override defaultwidth=58
The duration '-' was not recognized.

I didn't know why '-' was not recognized since I didn't type it at the command line and I had forgotten to add my tag '+HH'. So, I wanted to undo my change and then add the recurring task with the tag included.

$ task all "some task"

ID Project Pri Due              Completed Active Age   Description
64 Career      2011/08/27_13:35                  1 min some task; and a bit more description

1 task

At this point I got tired of trying to undo; so I went to the text files and deleted the relevant lines.

Then I successfully added my task

$ task add "some task; and a bit more description" project:Career due:2011/08/27_14:00 recur:1month +HH
Created task 64.
Configuration override curses=off
Configuration override defaultwidth=58
[Shadow file 'taskShadow.txt' updated

Notice that I changed "due:now" to "due:2011/08/27_14:00", which was about 20min. into the future. Maybe the duration error I received was because by the time 'now' was processed, it was in the past? Just a guess... not sure about internal workings of task warrior. Still a wonderful program though :)

I discovered something. In the original bug description:

$ task 20,37,36 due:Today

Suppose that 36 and 37 were already due:today. That would explain the 'Modified 1 task'. Could this possibly be the case?

[taskwarrior]

Aikido Guy on 2011-10-17T21:33:15Z says:

Yes, that could have been the case! However, I can't imagine that I would have tried to change the due date if it was already today... but who knows, that was back when I was a real newbie and now I don't make mistakes! err.. well... Anyway, I'd suggest that if what you've found is true, then simply adding a message to say 2 tasks already have a due date of today would be sufficient to solve the problem. However, when exactly would 'today' be? If 36,37 were due today at noon, what would performing the 'due:Today' action do? Change them to midnight? In other words, if '20' was due yesterday and it was ok to change it to 'due:Today' then at what time would '20' now be due?

Midnight, I believe.
