Coravel Cron Not running at specific time

[jsebastianmr]

Hi,

I'm using coravel as schedule worker, I have a problen when I try to use a cron expresion to trigger the task, for example if I put my cron expression like "* * * * *" the task runs every minute, but if I want to lunch it daily at specific time it doesnt work.

For example
"* * * * *" Works every minute.
"30 20 * * *" It should lunch the task at 20:30 daily but it doesnt work!

Thank you very much if you can help me with this issue

The next code is the implementation:

            providerCoravel.UseScheduler(scheduler =>
            {
                scheduler
                .Schedule<Notification>()
                .Cron("30 20 * * *");
            });

That looks correct... why don't you try to use the global error handling: https://docs.coravel.net/Scheduler/#global-error-handling

I think the following would work:

            providerCoravel.UseScheduler(scheduler =>
            {
                scheduler
                .Schedule<Notification>()
                .Cron("30 20 * * *");
            })
            .OnError(exception => throw exception);

Or just write the exception to the console. Normally errors are ignored to fail gracefully, but here with the OnError method you can be more specific about what happens when an exception occurs.

You might find that there's a missing DI registration or something.

Let me know if that helps to find what's going on.

Thanks for the answer, I put the OnError method but It did not throw anything.

I did a test putting a malformed cron expression and it threw a malformed expression excepción, but with the cron at specific time like "30 20 * * *" nothin happens, no excepción or no execution :(

Ok, just to make sure - the time you put into Cron is UTC right? If you are expecting the time you put into Cron to be within a certain time zone then you need to use -> https://docs.coravel.net/Scheduler/#zoned-schedules

Thanks a lot!, You are right and the link helped me , this worked for me:

            providerCoravel.UseScheduler(scheduler =>
            {
                scheduler
                .Schedule<Notification>()
                .Cron("06 22 * * *")     // I'll get the cron expression from appsettings file
                .Zoned(TimeZoneInfo.Local);
            }).OnError(exception => throw exception);
