Expected & Current Behavior

I started using Super Productivity 7.6 (on electron 13) on Wednesday. I created a few (10-15) repeated tasks, migrating them from my previous org-mode setup. i also completed them. I finished my day after midnight, and left Super Productivity running overnight.

On Thursday, to the best of my knowledge the repeated tasks were properly scheduled. On Thursday evening, I wanted to try out the ICS sync feature to have Super Productivity also be an interface for my meetings, so I upgraded to Super Productivity 7.10.1 (on electron 17). I tried out the feature (which deserves being marked as experimental I guess, but this is not the topic here 😅 ), finished my day before midnight, and left Super Productivity running overnight, with a few restarts in-between (including maybe one around midnight? I’m not sure).

Today, on Friday, I came back to Super Productivity to not see (all or any? not totally sure) the repeated tasks created. So I restarted it, thinking it probably needs a restart, and after the restart it asked me if it should schedule for today the repeated tasks. Except not all tasks that were scheduled on today were actually in the list it asked me to schedule: it is missing at least two that I can easily remember.

These two tasks are still in the “Repeated tasks” list with “Every day” repeat interval, so they were not lost. I tried restarting Super Productivity, as well as starting it from a terminal to get access to the logs, but there’s nothing of notice there.

Relatedly, this seems somehow similar to the thing mentioned in the first paragraph of this comment, though the issue topic is something else: https://github.com/johannesjo/super-productivity/issues/1902#issuecomment-1030914644

I’m wondering if this maybe has something to do with the other issue, like full-day tasks being scheduled at midnight and so not being recreated if the app is not open at this exact point in time?

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Not sure how I can reproduce, as it’s something that only happens once a day, but I’ll let you know if some tasks don’t repeat tomorrow again.

Is there anything I can do to help debugging this? As it’s pretty problematic for me if repeated tasks were to be unreliably created, and Super Productivity as a whole seemed like an awesome piece of software!

Thank you for your feedback! I’ve just opened tasks for each sub-issue, and transformed this task into a tracking issue that lists all the circumstances where one repeated task could end up not being created 😃
