Job scheduling leads to Termux:API and Termux errors

[Terrance]

Problem description

After updating to Termux 0.118.2, Termux:API 0.51.0, scheduled jobs are no longer running. When scheduling a job via termux-job-scheduler, an error notification is shown (but the job is run at the time):

Termux:API Error
Error in ResultReturner

Tapping that notification results in a Termux crash. (I'm guessing it's supposed to do something similar to Termux's own crash report screen?)

Other API commands seem to work ok, just the job scheduler erroring consistently.

Steps to reproduce

$ termux-job-scheduler -s ~/.shortcuts/tasks/jobs/test.sh --period-ms 14400000 --persisted true --job-id 0

Expected behavior

Job to be scheduled and run (now and on the schedule).

[mrkeuz]

In my case Job scheduling completely stop working after upgrade to 0.51.0 and termux-app 0.118.2.

I can view jobs in termux-job-scheduler -p. Tried to recreate jobs but no luck. Nothing criminal in logcat. Seems job executed but script not runs. I just log to file from my script and don't see any entries in log file.

Can provide additional info if needed.

Here my logcat around job

Both job and script did get executed. Your issue may be related to https://github.com/termux/termux-tasker#termux-environment

You can increase log level of Termux app for script stdout/stderr.
