Test modification of a task by an on-add hook (test case for #3416)

Open maertsen opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

This PR adds a test case that shows the bug described in #3416. I confirmed it fails on current develop.

I think the bug's root cause is https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/commit/5bb98579841d41e680280ada7bf3a3e9a9940553#r141727451.

For a fix: TBD2::update() as a method was removed in the referenced commit. And it seems calling TBD2::modify() instead will fire on-modify hooks when saving changes by on-add to the database. That's about as far as I got, I hope this contribution will help someone else make progress.

Hmm, the simplest fix is reordering the on-add hook invocation before the save. That fixes the issue while passing the test suite. However, I don't know if it is the behaviour that you want. Anything more complicated is beyond my affinity with C++.

This also fixes #3455! Can you take a look at #3457 for me before I merge it?
