Hi,
I am using webservice with Node environment on render.com, I am making an async call in a cron job, like the below, the deploy fails after some time, am I doing this correctly ?
My Code in app.js
const cron = require("node-cron");
// Define the task to be run on a cron schedule
const task = () => {
console.log("Cron job running at:", new Date().toLocaleString());
// Add your cron job logic here
asyncCall();
};
// Schedule the task to run every minute
cron.schedule("* * * * *", task);
// Log a message when the app starts
console.log("Cron job app started.");
function resolveAfter2Seconds() {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve("resolved");
}, 2000);
});
}
async function asyncCall() {
console.log("calling");
const result = await resolveAfter2Seconds();
console.log(result);
// Expected output: "resolved"
}
App Settings are as follows:
Environment: Node
Build command: npm install
Start command: npm start
package.json
