Node.js Scheduled Job Not Triggering on Cron-like Library Setup
I'm deploying to production and Does anyone know how to I'm having trouble getting a scheduled job to run using the `node-cron` library in my Node.js application... Despite following the documentation, the scheduled task doesn't seem to trigger as expected, even though the server is running. I'm using Node.js version 14.17.0 and `node-cron` version 2.0.3. Here's a simplified version of my setup: ```javascript const cron = require('node-cron'); // This function should log a message every minute. const task = cron.schedule('*/1 * * * *', () => { console.log('Cron job running every minute'); }, { scheduled: true, timezone: "America/New_York" }); // Start the cron job task.start(); console.log('Server is running...'); ``` When I run the application, I see 'Server is running...' in the console, but there’s no log output for the cron job. I've triple-checked the cron expression and the timezone, but I’m not sure what else could be wrong. I tried to run the cron expression in an online converter to verify the schedule, and it seems correct. I also placed a few `console.log` statements inside the cron job function to check if it’s being executed, but nothing appears in the logs. I’ve also ensured that there are no other processes or libraries interfering with the event loop or blocking the execution. I’ve included behavior handling, but I’m not receiving any errors either. I’m confused about why the scheduled task is not executing. Has anyone faced a similar scenario or have suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further? I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Javascript. What's the best practice here? Am I missing something obvious? I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. Thanks for your help in advance!
