addCronJob error

[Morley]

I've added the following to the solution's startup script:

Code: Select all

// schedule daily update at 12:20am with no expiry
plugins.scheduler.addCronJob('12:20am','0 20 0 ? * ?',globals.dailyUpdate());


I then closed the solution and reopened it. It got the following error message:

Can't find method
com.servoy.r2.plugins.scheduler.SchedulerProvider.js_addCronJob(string,string,undefinded)

The globals method "dailyUpdate()" is clearly present and I'm able to manually trigger it.

If I remove the "addCronJob" instruction from the startup script, close the solution, then re-open it, the error doesn't trigger.

Puzzled.

Try with:

plugins.scheduler.addCronJob('12:20am','0 20 0 ? * ?',dailyUpdate);

as reported in the "move sample" of the scheduler

That seems to catch it. I was caught off guard by the unexpected syntax for calling a global method.

There was also another flaw. Should be:

Code: Select all

plugins.scheduler.addCronJob('12:20am','0 20 0 ? * *',dailyUpdate);

The original called for "no special value" for both day of month and day of week. The revision calls for every day of the week. The docs are "legal" although not as transparent as they could be.

Thanks. My first Cron seems to be on its way.
