Cancel Scheduler question

[juzser]

Hi Marcelo,

Sorry for bothering you. But I asked on the App-engines repo but get no response, so I hope somehow you can help me here.

I see you're using this.modify.getScheduler().cancelJob(data.value) to cancel a job.
I understand it will revoke the promise of scheduler, but I thought the cancelJob only has param jobId (string) instead of promise?

And I have a question here: RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Apps-engine#381
If you have free time, please check and see if there is any idea.
The main problem is, if I want to public the slash command to users, so they cannot cancel the job separately, because cancelJob can only cancel the whole processor, not single scheduler task, as I understand.

Thank you!

Hey @juzser the apps-engine team has recently created a PR to return the task's id when creating the task. That's what I am passing to the data.value. Check this out: RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Apps-engine#437

It now allows us to cancel specific jobs, and not the whole processor.

Wow, nice!
Thanks for your information 👍🏽

Hi Marcelo,

Sorry for re-opening this issue. But I have one more question.
I see the PR you mentioned had been merged for a long time, and I'm using the new version of App-Engines.
I've also checked and see the scheduler has returned the Job ID, but when I create many tasks, I see the IDs are the same...

So when I cancel the job by ID, actually, it's just cancel all jobs... similar with before.

Do you have any idea about this?

Thank you.

Hey @juzser I don't know what to say... it works fine here, with this specific app. Are you sure your apps-engine is up-to-date?

Can you check your app.json file and see that requiredApiVersion is at least 1.19?

Cheers,

Yeah, I'm using App-Engines version 1.29.

It's weird, because when I tried to get the job id by:

const scheduleId = await modify.getScheduler().scheduleRecurring({
    id: 'penalty',
   ...
});

The scheduleId is the same everytime I run the command, and when I cancel the job by this id, all jobs will be cancelled.
