How to implement guide with spring boot scheduled tasks not executing as expected with delayed initial delay
Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm trying to debug Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm working with an scenario with a scheduled task in my Spring Boot application where the task is not executing after the initial delay as expected. I'm using Spring Boot 2.6.4 and have configured the task as follows: ```java import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableScheduling; import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.Scheduled; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @EnableScheduling @Component public class ScheduledTasks { @Scheduled(initialDelay = 10000, fixedRate = 30000) public void reportCurrentTime() { System.out.println("The time is now: " + new java.util.Date()); } } ``` From my understanding, the `initialDelay` should allow a 10-second wait before the task starts executing, followed by subsequent executions every 30 seconds. However, the task does not seem to execute at all. I've checked the following: - The `@EnableScheduling` annotation is present and correctly imported. - The component scan is configured correctly, and the `ScheduledTasks` class is being picked up by Spring. - The application is not exiting immediately, and I've implemented a simple REST endpoint to keep the application running. - I verified that my application is correctly set up with Spring's scheduling support. When I run the application, I don't see any logs that indicate the task has started executing, nor do I see any errors in the console. I've also tried using `@Scheduled(initialDelayString = "${my.initial.delay}", fixedRateString = "${my.fixed.rate}")` with properties defined in my `application.properties` file, but the behavior is the same. Is there something I'm missing in the configuration or a common pitfall with Spring Boot scheduled tasks that might be causing this scenario? My development environment is Linux. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a better approach?
