Node.js Scheduled Task Using node-cron Not Executing on Time in Production
I'm collaborating on a project where I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm trying to set up a scheduled task in my Node.js application using the `node-cron` library, but it seems to be failing in the production environment. In my local development, it works perfectly, but when I deploy to my server, the job does not execute as expected. I've set up the job to run every minute, and here's the code snippet: ```javascript const cron = require('node-cron'); const task = cron.schedule('* * * * *', () => { console.log('Running a task every minute'); }); task.start(); ``` In my production logs, I do not see the expected output, and there are no behavior messages indicating what might be wrong. I checked the server time zone, and it matches my local environment, so I don't think that’s the scenario. I've also confirmed that the Node.js version is the same in both environments (v16.14.0). Additionally, I set up the `NODE_ENV` variable to 'production', but I’m unsure if that impacts the behavior of `node-cron`. I’ve also tried running the cron job in a separate file and importing it, but that didn't help either. Is there something specific I might be missing when deploying this functionality to production? Any suggestions on debugging this scenario would be greatly appreciated! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. Thanks, I really appreciate it! Thanks for your help in advance!
