Membership renewal messages - membership record not being updated

[Tony Horrocks]

I'm running 4.1 on a Drupal6 installation.

Ive set up the various cron jobs etc.

However on the membership renewal messages/update job, its sending out the message but its not updating the member record to say the message has been sent.

Which means it keeps sending out the message each time cron runs.

Cron is sending me this error

Any ideas how to cure this? Thanks

Update: Ive just tested this on the Civi Drupal 6 demo site and getting the same error.

OK set up the student membership type with a renewal reminder at 7 days.

Then add a contact.

Then give them a student membership that expires within the 7 day period so that they qualify for a reminder.

Then run Update Membership Statuses and Send Renewal Reminders from Scheduled Jobs. The errors appear as Drupal error messages.

Repeat the scheduled job and the messages do not appear.

I don't know whether this is connected to the wider error on my site which is that when the reminder is sent out, this is not recorded in civicrm_membership_log table. WHich means it keeps on sending reminders endlessly.

I've investigated and updated the issue tracker issue based on my results:

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-9758

I've committed fixes for the warnings. The issue documents expected behavior w/ regard to reminder_date handling and "logging". I suspect your problem w/ reminders going out multiple times is related to running the Set Membership Reminder Dates job (see my comment on the issue).
