CRON task doesn't running

Discord Q&A strapi-questions
21

Working code:

module.exports = () => ({
  bootstrap({ strapi }) {
    strapi.cron.add({
      myJob: {
        task: ({ strapi }) => {
          console.log("hello from plugin");
        },
        options: "* * * * * *",  // << No `rule` here
      },
    });
  },
});

That’s just a bug with the upstream types in the package we use, it would only impact TS users using strick types, you can just disable the TS check there until the upstream maintainers fix it.

23

Well I say that three times already, it’s not a typescript bug, it’s a js bug, it’s not accepting rule in options

24

Try it yourself

25

Is a TS bug not a plain bug

26

Since if I do it in javascript it works fine

27

And I should know since I made the pr to fix this

28

That’s even more weird, since it was a ts issue it wouldn’t compile, and it compiles and doesn’t work

29

Can you give me an example of the broken code?

30

That’s one working

31 

module.exports = () => ({
  bootstrap({ strapi }) {
    strapi.cron.add({
      myJob: {
        task: ({ strapi }) => {
          console.log("hello from plugin");
        },
        options: {  
          rule: "* * * * * *",  // << Notice that `options` has an attribute `rule`
        },
      },
    });
  },
});

that one doesn’t, but try a different rule, I have felling that it creates default * * * * * rule

32

Can you try giving the same thing to node-schedule - npm and see if it works then

33

to see if this is a node-schedule bug or strapi bug

34

Wait is this the right one

35

Ok not sure what’s going on but now both rules work

36

That also work

37

I think maybe this was due to fact that crontab guru uses * * * * * and node schedule seems to use * * * * * *

38

that could be the issue

39

Gonna try ts one

ts types are wrong
