error : Run on Invalid Date ?!

[pju51]

Hello

I installed alcali in docker, it seemed to work because I can see the key salts, the minions, I can execute from alcali commands to the minions via the CLI, etc..

But after some tests, I found out that if I execute a command from a minion, I can't see the result on alcali because I always get the following error message: Run on Invalid Date (in the alcali logs, I have an error 500)
also if I refresh the functions, it doesn't work, I don't get them back.

it seems that :
alkali -> minion OK
minion -> master-> alcali KO ("Run on Invalid Date" error)

my saltstack version is 3000.3. I tested alcali in version 3003.1 and 3000.1, same problem.

For the database, I had chosen mysql I installed the dependencies on my salt master (os: centos8) but i always had the following error "Returner 'alcali' does not support function prep_jid" when running the cmd : "salt-run saltutil.sync_all"
However "salt --versions-report" confirmed that the mysql client was present.

@salt-master-dc1-1 master.d]$ sudo salt-run saltutil.sync_all
[ERROR ] Returner 'alcali' does not support function prep_jid
[ERROR ] An un-handled exception was caught by salt's global exception handler:
KeyError: "Returner 'alcali' does not support function prep_jid"
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'alcali.prep_jid'

I then switched to postgresql, and I didn't encounter any problem this time.

I've been using ntpd for time configuration, and I configured the docker-compose file to use the correct time, but the problem was still there

I noticed that even if the container is on time, there is still a several hours lag in the alkali logs, but it's at the application level so... I don't know if it's related to my problem.

What am I missing? Where is this error coming from?

no news about my error :
status : views.JobDetail.failed
start time: Invalid Date

no idea what my problem might be?

I'm seeing this as well with Salt 3005
