Getting the error "No active batch." when running any batch

Question

I am getting this error when running any batch on the site:

No active batch.

I thought this may have been a server issue, so I tried it locally, but I got the same error. I tried deleting all the records in the batch table, but I also got the same result.

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the web server is down. Why would that effect batches that do not connect to their servers?

Answer 1

If you are using the Secure Pages module, you have apply the patches provided for that module.

As I am using the Secure Pages module, that fixed my problem.

Steps to install Secure Pages 7.x-dev

• Set $conf['https'] = TRUE; in settings.php.

• Apply these two patches:

  • #961508-21: Dual http/https session cookies interfere with drupal_valid_token()
  • #471970-13: DrupalWebTestCase->getAbsoluteUrl should use internal browser's base URL

Answer 2

I had the same issue. It was caused by the secure pages issue. So I went to secure pages settings page, and in the ignore list, I added my url (e.g. admin/structure/abc). It worked good. Hope it helps someone.
