Hi All,

I was just testing the scheduler plugin …, but it is not working .

```auto
var startDate = new Date();
startDate.setTime(startDate.getTime()+20000);
var endDate = new Date(startDate.getTime()+100000);
plugins.scheduler.addJob('in20seconds',startDate,'showTestDialog',20000,40,endDate)

```

showTestDialog=Global Function name.

The error i got:

```auto
Can't find method com.servoy.extensions.plugins.scheduler.SchedulerProvider.js_addJob(string,java.util.Date,string,number,number,java.util.Date).
org.mozilla.javascript.EvaluatorException: Can't find method com.servoy.extensions.plugins.scheduler.SchedulerProvider.js_addJob(string,java.util.Date,string,number,number,java.util.Date).

```

But the plugin is inside the plugin folder.

Please help.

Thanks  
DP

The error doesn’t say that the plugin is missing but that you are calling the method wrong.

Your mistake is the way you pass the global method. You are passing a String, not a Function (method). So change it to

```auto
plugins.scheduler.addJob('in20seconds',startDate,globals.showTestDialog,20000,40,endDate)

```
