Job scheduling

[flovilmart]

I'm working on a JobScheduling worker (driven by a minute cron job on k8s) and I'd like to get back the original API's in. There is also a PR on the dashboard that restores the creation/update/delete of the _JobSchedule objects.

The _JobSchedule's Schema match the original parse.com api, so all original jobs should be editable.

super nice.

Is there any documentation on how to implement this? I cannot find it on cloud code docs

@tejpratap46 i’ve implemented a runner that fetches the scheduled jobs in the dashboard and runs them on a timely manner. The runner should be run every minutes or so in order to check if jobs have to be running.

Hello @flovilmart! Thanks for the link to your jobs scheduler. Could you explain a bit more how to use it? Does it need anything else? like a service/cron job/kue to work? And do you recommend to install it on a different server than the parse one?
If I understand well, your job-runner will look at scheduled jobs to see if any needs to be run, then run them. But then you still need to make the job-runner run at periodic time, don't you?
Thanks a lot for your help!

[flovilmart]

Yes, you’re completely right, you need to schedule it and run it every minute for example. You can run it anywhere as it uses the HTTP api to communicate with Parse-server

Great, I need it!!

[coderofsalvation]

Awesome.

Is it an idea to ship this defaultJobRunner.js with the default parse-server package and run require('defaultJobRunner')(Parse) by default..unless env-var PARSE_REMOTE_JOBRUNNER=1 is set?

That will run scheduled jobs out of the box using the cron-package (which doesn't require cron).

REASON: the REST-api is a big step forward, however imho it still defeats the purpose of Parse being a batteries included solution. It results in every new parse-developer having to go down the 'why are my scheduled jobs not running'-rabbithole
