Problem deleting overlapping intervals caused after starting tracking with :adjust hint
I've had this happen once before and ultimate had to resort to a backup of the database. I wasn't sure how it happened then and I don't think it was because of the :adjust
hint, since I only recently started using that. I have the full command history this time and I noticed it right away.
Ran summary:
Wk Date Day ID Tags Start End Time Total

@1 Fix staff/faculty records for [redacted] supp 9:28:52 - 0:50:32 2:55:22

Realized I wasn't tracking the correct task and tried to correct:
timew start "Email catch-up" 40mins ago
You cannot overlap intervals. Correct the start/end time, or specify the :adjust hint.
As far as I can tell, I wasn't overlapping. The current tracking had been running for 50 minutes and I was trying to start new tracking 40mins ago
. So I decided to try the :adjust
hint:
timew start "Email catch-up" 40mins ago :adjust 255 ↵
Recorded "Fix staff/faculty records for [redacted]" [redacted] supp

Tracking "Email catch-up"
Started 2018-11-14T09:39:58
Current 10:19:59
Total 0:40:01
But right away I knew something was messed up when I ran the summary:
Wk Date Day ID Tags Start End Time Total

So I deleted all the noise, including the tracking I initially wanted to capture but I'm unable to delete the duplicate open interval @2
. I've issued timew delete @2
multiple times it outputs Deleted @2
but when I run the summary, it's still there:
Wk Date Day ID Tags Start End Time Total
W46 2018-11-14 Wed @5 Morning catch-up 7:24:02 7:54:48 0:30:46
@4 Setting up bugwarrior 7:54:48 8:48:03 0:53:15
@3 Morning catch-up 8:48:03 9:28:52 0:40:49
@2 Fix staff/faculty records for [redacted] supp 9:28:52 - 0:53:38
@1 Fix staff/faculty records for [redacted] supp 9:28:52 10:20:31 0:51:39 3:50:07
3:50:07
It might also be worth noting that the interval that's duplicated and is not able to be deleted was initally created through the Taskwarrior hook. I completed the task and marked it as done in Taskwarrior which normally will close the Timewarrior tracking on that item. I didn't check right away if it did but it appears that it did not since the tracking was still open when I checked 40 minutes later.
I should mention another thing. When I try to stop the open interval or I try to start a new interval I get You cannot overlap intervals. Correct the start/end time, or specify the :adjust hint.
Sorry about that previous commit. I had the wrong issue number on it accidentally. (I had a branch where I wanted to see if I could recreate this issue, but was unable to, with the 1.1.1 release at least).
