Before the latest update, there was an automation using the Automation Plugin that does the following (which was tested and it was working successfully without any changes):
Script: Send pms
When: “User added to group”
Tracked group: “a group that requires group owner to ‘approve requests’ first”
Script Options: one PM (tested and it worked successfully).
Currently, on version: 3.5.0.beta3-dev(231e9ca99a)
it now shows “internal server error” when attempting to approve the users.
The following is the error that appears:
PG::NotNullViolation (ERROR: null value in column "total_time" of relation "discourse_automation_stats" violates not-null constraint
DETAIL: Failing row contains (18, 8, 2025-04-10, 2025-04-10 07:34:42.740189, null, null, null, null, 1).
)

I suspect this has to do with the new changes to the discourse_automation_stats table mentioned here:
Thanks!

Thanks for the report. I think you have an other error, but the stat code we added is hiding it.
That should fix it:
main
← resilient-stat-log
opened 08:49AM - 10 Apr 25 UTC
The previous code could attempt to log a `nil` `run_time` if the block would rai… se an exception. This commit adds two safeguards:
- rescue any exception to still compute `run_time`
- defaults to `0` if we still don't have any `run_time`
And then we should be able to see the actual error.

Thanks!
Does this mean after the update, I need to get the actual error?

Yes please, even though I suspect from here, you might be able to fix it yourself.

Thank you for your patience!
I’m getting another generic issue {"status":422,"error":"Unprocessable Entity"}
. Please see screenshot after I click on ‘approve’:
The payload is form data (application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8):
user_id=10127&accept=true
Thanks! Though I’m not sure why it’s saying ‘unprocessable entity’, any tip?
Im sorry but that doesnt look like automation.
Can you click on response in the first screenshot please?

Hey
Thanks! It’s the same response…
I did further investigation and realized that…
Two things have already changed:
The user is being added to the group successfully
The automated message is being sent
This error “unprocessable entity” doesn’t appear when the admin account is used to accept the group request, but it’s appearing to a non-admin group owner user (even with 1 and 2 happening successfully now for both admin/non-admin).
It seems now we are talking about a new issue (given those above are now working but only that the result isn’t clear when it’s blocked with this new issue)…
even the server error logs changed:

Im sorry but Im very confused how this is related to the op. You don’t get this error through automation right? This is a direct action you are doing in the admin as far as I can tell.

Hi again!
Thank you for spending your time on this one so I think it’s now resolved. Initially, the error only appeared after we activated the automation (first error posted in first post), and then after your fix the error disappeared but the logs showed a different error as explained above.
The errors disappeared after I did the following:
Turned off the automation
Cleared the browser cache
Turned the automation back on
After turning the automation on/off and clearing cache all the errors disappeared. Thank you!
Ok, very surprising, but if it works for you, all good! Thanks for the update.
