Plugin for creating scheduled tasks from templates.
- Ruby 2.2+
- Redmine 3.3+
- Standard plugin installation:
cd {REDMINE_ROOT}
git clone https://github.com/centosadmin/redmine_recurring_tasks.git plugins/redmine_recurring_tasks
bundle install
bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
To use the plugin, you should turn on it in project modules settings. Then you need to go at issue page and you will see Schedule section with "Add" link, which leads you to recurring settings.
To run scheduling task you should run rake task
cd {REDMINE_ROOT}
bundle exec rake redmine_recurring_tasks:exec RAILS_ENV=production
And to do it periodically you may use cron or another external scheduler.
To run sidekiq-cron tasks you should:
- Install redis (yum install redis)
- Install plugin redmine_sidekiq
- Then you can add initialization file. For example
# /opt/redmine/config/initializers/zz-cron.rb
class RecurringTaskWorker
include Sidekiq::Worker
def perform
checker = RedmineRecurringTasks::IssueChecker.new(Setting.plugin_redmine_recurring_tasks)
checker.call
end
end
cron_job_array = [
{
'name' => 'Weekly schedule worker',
'class' => 'RecurringTaskWorker',
'cron' => '*/5 * * * *'
}
]
Sidekiq::Cron::Job.load_from_array cron_job_array
cd {REDMINE_ROOT}
whenever --update-crontab --load-file plugins/redmine_recurring_tasks/config/schedule.rb
$ crontab -e
And add cron job line
*/5 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/redmine && RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake redmine_recurring_tasks:exec'
If you have any plugins, which for some reason doesn't copying in spawned issues, you can set specific issue associations fields in plugin settings. But be careful — this option can break work plugin scheduler.
For example, if you using plugin Redmine checklists, you can check "checklists" in RedmineRecurringTasks settings.
The plugin is designed by Southbridge
