wp-async-task don't fire run_action method - php

Question

I have to work with the techcrunch wp-async-task to run a synchronization task in background in my wordpress plugin.
So to test, at the bottom of the main file I have :
//top of the php file
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/lib/WP_Async_Task.php');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/class/my_api_status.class.php');
define('API_URL', '...');
/* ... */
// At the bottom of the file
function my_api_status($api_url)
{
sleep(5);
$r = wp_safe_remote_get($api_url);
if (!is_wp_error($r)) {
$body = json_decode(wp_remote_retrieve_body($r));
if (isset($body->success)) {
return;
}
}
}
add_action('wp_async_api_status', 'my_api_status');
function my_init_api_status()
{
new ApiStatusTask();
do_action('api_status', constant('API_URL'));
}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'my_init_api_status');
And api status task class
class ApiStatusTask extends WP_Async_Task {
protected $action = 'api_status';
/**
* Prepare data for the asynchronous request
* #throws Exception If for any reason the request should not happen
* #param array $data An array of data sent to the hook
* #return array
*/
protected function prepare_data( $data ) {
return array(
'api_url' => $data[0]
);
}
/**
* Run the async task action
*/
protected function run_action() {
if(isset($_POST['api_url'])){
do_action("wp_async_$this->action", $_POST['api_url']);
}
}
}
The function prepare_data is correctly called by launchand after that launch_on_shutdown is also correctly called and finally wp_remote_post is called at the end of launch_on_shutdown with admin-post.php.
But the function run_action is never called ... and so the my_api_status in the main file.
What it possibly go wrong ?

Answer 1

I will put a complete example of a plugin here soon. But for now, I found my problem :
// In the `launch_on_shutdown` method of `WP_Async_Task` class
public function launch_on_shutdown() {
GcLogger::getLogger()->debug('WP_Async_Task::launch_on_shutdown');
if ( ! empty( $this->_body_data ) ) {
$cookies = array();
foreach ( $_COOKIE as $name => $value ) {
$cookies[] = "$name=" . urlencode( is_array( $value ) ? serialize( $value ) : $value );
}
$request_args = array(
'timeout' => 0.01,
'blocking' => false,
'sslverify' => false, //apply_filters( 'https_local_ssl_verify', true ),
'body' => $this->_body_data,
'headers' => array(
'cookie' => implode( '; ', $cookies ),
),
);
$url = admin_url( 'admin-post.php' );
GcLogger::getLogger()->debug('WP_Async_Task::launch_on_shutdown wp_remote_post');
wp_remote_post( $url, $request_args );
}
}
The sslverify option failed in my local environment. I just had to put it on false if we are not in production.
With this option set, the run_action is correctly trigger.
