    I have floating bar profiles connected to variable states. But I'm having issues I cannot resolve.
    My profiles/tasks are executed.
    The floating bar (handle) shows.
    at some random point in time the bar handle retracts and the error is shown.

    This error toast will popup every few minutes and I have no idea where to look to fix it.
    The only way to get the bar back is to launch the task from tasker again. But the error will happen again.
    I've tried to delete the tasks/profiles connected to my floating bars and recreated them, but the same thing happens.

    The logs only show commands... The Tasker Run Log only says 'Err' sometimes...
    I don't know how to fix this.

    Please help me.


    The profile is SO simple!!:

    Just to clarify, when that error shows up what happens to the floating bar exactly?

    The slide to left animation plays and the bar is gone. But there's no exit task in run log. Just the error. I've seen it a couple of times. Most of the times it happens with screen off.

    That error happens if for some reason an overlay isn't shown after 10 seconds of trying. So it must be some task that is attempting to show an overlay and is failing for some reason. Do you happen to know which it might be?

    Maybe it's one of the other bars. I use an outside profile, a work profile and a home profile. All three have a bar attached to it.
    I noticed in the run log that my profile will go from, for ex. Home to Outside.
    The outside task starts right away and launches the work bar.. And the home exit task runs after the outside task started. They both have different id's, but could this be the problem?

    Also, I now get this everyone I startup tasker. I've jumped back to a backup from yesterday. But this does not help...

    I did not say anything about this error because this happened after trying to set a local image with autotools image muzei. Which does not work for me btw... :(
    But first things first.

    that error usually means that you have uninstalled a plugin that you use in one of your profiles. Can that be it?

    I think I found a cause for the initial problem, as it's happening again. But I spotted something now. I have one profile that uses your newer loading bars.
    I have it set to a task that switches wallpapers. Most of the times the task executes so fast that the loading bar sorta blinks in and out of view. A few moments later.. My running floating bar will retract and the error is shown.
    I have to fire the bar task again to get it back.

    It seems the loading bar loads (and dissappears) so fast that the plugin still expects it to be shown. 10 secs pass as you said, and the error is shown. This causes my other overlays to dissappear aswell.
    You have any idea for a fix?

    My apologies for flooding this thread... Bug hunting is a thing I do... :$

    The exit task of the floating bar was a simple variable clear %LOADING.
    I have fixed this problem for myself by adding a 2 second wait to the exit task of the floating bar profile so the loading bar will always show for a minimum of 2 seconds.

    SOLVED!
    Just so you know what the root cause is. :D
    Have a great weekend!

    (ps: I've hunted down the Tasker startup errors shown in the popup. There were tasks and scenes with missing plugins as you said. Thanks for the tip ;))
