wp_sync...action hook not being executed as async

[pratikgup]

Hi there, this plugin seems useful, but doesn't work for me in WP v4.7.5.

I'm trying to get a action hook from another plugin running asynchronously. This is the action hook I'm trying to run asynchronously https://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/article/gform_after_submission/

I tried to incorporate that hook using similar steps described in the plugin's Github readme.

To just test the gform_after_submission_19 (where form id=19) action this is what I have added in my theme's function.php after activating the TechCrunch's plugin

if (class_exists('WP_Async_Task')) {

    class GF_Async_Task extends WP_Async_Task {
        
        protected $action = 'gform_after_submission_19';

        public function __construct() {
            parent::__construct(parent::BOTH);
        }
        protected function prepare_data($data) {
            return array(
                'entry' => $data[0],
                'form' => $data[1]
            );
        }
        protected function run_action() {
            if (isset($_POST['entry'])) {
                do_action("wp_async_$this->action", $_POST['entry'], $_POST['form']);
            }
        }
    }
}
function send_custom_notification($entry, $form) {
    error_log("test", 3, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/GFTEST.log");
}

add_action('wp_async_gform_after_submission_19', 'send_custom_notification', 10, 2);

function my_init_gf_task() {
    new GF_Async_Task();
}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'my_init_gf_task');

But when I post the gravity form the expected action send_custom_notification action is just not doing the log
What could be wrong?

I also tried to set the sslverify option to false in the the launch_on_shutdown method of WP_Async_Task class by the editing original plugin file wp-async-task.php. I may needed to do this as i'm working on localhost for now.

But still no luck, any help/tips will be much appreciated, thanks!

You need to change

function send_custom_notification($entry, $form) {
    error_log("test", 3, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/GFTEST.log");
}

add_action('gform_after_submission_19', 'send_custom_notification', 10, 2);

to

function send_custom_notification($entry, $form) {
    error_log("test", 3, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/GFTEST.log");
}

add_action('wp_async_gform_after_submission_19', 'send_custom_notification', 10, 2);

Sorry that was a silly typo on my post which I have amended now. However I definitely have the above code in my theme's functions.php. The action still won't work with the right tag for action.
I wonder if my prepare_data and run_action functions are correct? And/Or the class instantiation is correct? Not sure why my above code won't work when I post the Gravity Form. I also tried removing _19 (ID of the form in the above code), but still no luck after posting any Gravity Form - cannot see the log.

I also tried the wp_async_save_post action variance of my above code, where I used below in my theme's function.php instead, but no expected log found when a post is saved (created or edited from admin), if I remove the wp_async_ prefix in the add_action it would work fine just like the Gravity Form after submission action, but it wouldn't run asynchronously and from this plugin.

class GF_Async_Task extends WP_Async_Task {
    protected $action = 'save_post';

    protected function prepare_data($data){
        return array(
            'post_id' => $data[0]
        );
    }

    protected function run_action() {
        if( isset( $_POST[ 'post_id' ] ) && 0 < absint( $_POST[ 'post_id' ] ) ){
            do_action( "wp_async_$this->action", $_POST[ 'post_id' ], get_post( $_POST[ 'post_id' ] ) );
        }
    }
}

function send_custom_notification($id) {
    error_log("test", 3, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/GFTEST.log");
}

add_action('wp_async_save_post', 'send_custom_notification');

function my_init_gf_task() {
    new GF_Async_Task();
}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'my_init_gf_task');

Looking at the documentation of the GForm hook it looks like the first parameter is the entry.

So you have to change the way you are retrieving post_id inside prepare_data.

 protected function prepare_data($data){
        return array(
            'post_id' => $data['post_id']
        );
    }

Thanks but that is only for the save_post action example, not the GForm hook. The prepare_data below is already setup for the GForm hook as shown in the full code in my 1st comment.
Is this correct way of retrieving entry and form? I was having doubts about it initially.

My 1st comment above has the full code for the GForm hook async attempt, which is still not working. Could I breakpoint and debug what is going on by stepping through in WP?

protected function prepare_data($data) {
            return array(
                'entry' => $data[0],
                'form' => $data[1]
            );
        }

Okay, you are correct. I mixed both the examples.

The prepare_data that you have right now looks like the correct one. If it is still not working try to set a break point (or log the value) and see what is the value of $data.

Alright I have just added this in the plugin's class instead of functions.php. I shouldn't add this functionality in a theme anyway as it is not theme dependent.

After posting the form, I was able to print the value of $data it does contain 2 arrays, entry and form. So something wrong with the return in my prepare_data because it doesn't hit the run_action function?

[pratikgup]

Ok the run_action and wp_async hook with the gravity form submission works with a shorter form.

But not with a form that contains many fields (about 4 steps). Could that be because of a limit in the WP Async Task class specification?

I have set the local server's php.ini with config post_max_size = 100M. The $_POSTcontent is certainly not that big, it is probably less than 1MB file size of $_POST array content. Why would it not work with a larger form?
