Scheduled cloud function
As I understood it is possible to create a function execution from the server sdk with an ISO date as the time. Am I wrong to assume that this will execute the function at the given time?
TypeScript
router.post('/database/events/create', async (req, res) => {
const {eventName, service, startTime, endTime, destinations, autoSource} = req.body;
if (!autoSource) return res.status(200).send({success: true});
const capability = (await databases.listDocuments(process.env.APPWRITE_DATABASE_ID ?? '', process.env.APPWRITE_DATABASE_SERVICE ?? '')).documents.find((document) => document.serviceName === service)?.capability;
if (!capability) return res.status(500).send({success: false, message: 'Invalid service'});
const source = (await databases.listDocuments(process.env.APPWRITE_DATABASE_ID ?? '', process.env.APPWRITE_DATABASE_INPUT_DEFINITIONS ?? '')).documents.filter((document) => document.capabilities == capability && document.available == true)[0];
if (!source) return res.status(500).send({success: false, message: 'Invalid source'});
await functions.createExecution(
process.env.APPWRITE_FUNCTIONS_SCHEDULER_ID ?? '',
JSON.stringify(
{
destinations,
source
}
),
false,
'/',
ExecutionMethod.POST,
{
"x-appwrite-request-signature": generateRequestSignature({destinations, source})
},
new Date(startTime).toISOString()
)
.then((res) => {
logger.info(`Scheduled function execution for '${eventName}' at ${startTime} was created`);
// TODO: Update TV Event Document in database to add executionId
// await databases.updateDocument()
})
.catch((err) => logger.error(`Failed to create scheduled function execution for '${eventName}' -> ${err.message}`));
res.status(200).send({success: true});
});
It just creates an execution that runs instantaneously.
TL;DR
Developers are trying to schedule a cloud function to run at a specific time based on an ISO date, but currently, the code they have only creates an execution that runs instantaneously. The issue lies in the scheduling of the function based on the time provided. To schedule the function to run at a given time, developers need to adjust the code to trigger the execution at the specified ISO date successfully.
