XO (self build) tasks spamming

[marcoi]

when i use command line

marco@xen:/opt/xo/xo-server$ xo-cli rest get tasks/0merqp0hz
404 Not Found
✖ {
  "error": "no such task 0merqp0hz",
  "data": {
    "id": "0merqp0hz",
    "type": "task"
  }

@marcoi Same issue here with the latest commit (c1c3b). Rolling back to 4e3c1 from 2025-08-06 which i was running previously resolves the issue. Not sure whats going on or when it started happening exactly as i usually only update once a month.

Edit: Updated to commit 4eeae and also do not experience the task spam. So im guessing this is something that happened during the commits today (Aug 25, 2025)

Edit 2: Tested on both my homelab install and a second test environment install and both seem to exhibit this issue on the latest commit.

@flakpyro I went back a few versions to Xen Orchestra, commit 70d59 and no longer seeing the task spamming.
Guess I will disable the nightly update schedule for now. @Danp let me know if you need me to go to this version to test something or try a new version. etc..

It's been reproduced internally and will be fixed ASAP

Thank you for the PR @MathieuRA !

[flakpyro]

@olivierlambert On my test instance which is admittedly not very busy (only 2 hosts) this fixed the issue!

[olivierlambert]

Thanks for the feedback!

[marcoi]

is this in the latest build or do i need to download a separate branch etc? I'm using a script someone made to build my XO so not sure how to do a separate branch but if the change made it into main build i can download an update and test as well.

[olivierlambert]

@marcoi in a branch at the moment. Ask your script provider to tell you how to switch to a branch
