[Koha] Background jobs in Koha menu "Administration"

[Bruns, Anke]

Hi,

not sure if this belongs to this thread, but as it concerns

<url>/cgi-bin/koha/admin/background_jobs.pl

it may fit in.

We realized that in 22.05 there is a http 500 error when clicking on "View" in one of the jobs listed on the background jobs overview. This is independent of
- the Koha instance (we tried it with two different instances on our server)
- whether you navigate to the background jobs overview via menu "Administration > Manage background jobs" or when you just started a batch operation (in our case batch item modification) and from there try to view the job in the list.

The corresponding message in the plack-error.log reads:

	Can't call method "GetPlugins" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/BackgroundJob.pm line 402.

And this is line 402 in /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/BackgroundJob.pm:

        my @plugins = Koha::Plugins->new()->GetPlugins( { method => 'background_tasks', } );

Should we file a bug for this?

Regards,
Anke
