Plugin variables not working - anyone?

[Tapio]

Hi,

Locus status variables aren't really working for me. Eg, Request Sensors and Stats, "is track recording"

Here it always returns false to %is_track_rec_recording.

I'm on the recent new database beta.
Also,there were some updates on Tasker plugin recently.

Anyone else? That effectively broke all my automation.

Hi,
I just found the same 30 mins ago.
All the variables I use from Request Sensors and Stats are empty or 'null'.
Get Locus Info is still OK.

My tasker project is also now broken.

It was working for sure on December 27 , the plugin was updated on my phone on Jan 10th.  Locus itself was not changed in the meantime.

I guess the API probably has had quite a few updates since the previous plugin version was created.

While the developer fixes the bug, I can offer you a temporary solution.
The recording status of a track can be detected by a tasker from the status bar.:
The owner application:Locus Map
Name:!* - * Text:~R\d+:\d\d:\d\d | .*m |\d+ Dots

Below is a working "Description To Clipboard". It's in Russian, but I'm quoting it unchanged so that the translator doesn't change the content. You'll have to adapt it for yourself.
