Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1473606

Description of problem:
When trying to remove cancelled delayed plans using the foreman_tasks:cleanup AFTER=$AFTER, it will skip those plans because they don't have started_at field set.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Schedule remote execution job to be executed in the future
2. Go to its task and click cancel
3. Observe task flipping over to stopped-error
5. Run foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup AFTER='10s'

Actual results:
The task remains there

Expected results:
The task is deleted

Additional info:

Workaround:
Modify your cleanup cronjob/script to look like this

AFTER='30d' # Set desired time interval here

1. Run your normal cleanup here
2. foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup AFTER=$AFTER ...

1. Let the cleanup task compute the right cutoff date
   TIMESTAMP="$(foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup TASK_SEARCH='label != a_label' NOOP=true AFTER="$AFTER" | grep 'all tasks matching' | grep P -o "\d\d\d\d\d\d-\d\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d" | tail -n1)"

1. Remove the broken leftovers
   foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup TASK_SEARCH="null? started_at AND ended_at < \"$TIMESTAMP\""
