Golang : Fix go-cron set time not working issue
Problem :
You followed the go-cron example at https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-co-op/gocron#section-readme but later on found out that the scheduled task did not execute at the specified time.
s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
// set time
s.Every(1).Day().At("10:30").Do(func(){ ... })
// set multiple times
s.Every(1).Day().At("10:30;08:00").Do(func(){ ... })
Solution :
Instead of using time.UTC
, set the time location first to whatever timezone your server/machine is running at and then use the time for the go-cron scheduler.
For example :
localTime, err := time.LoadLocation("Asia/Singapore")
if err != nil {
logs.Fatal().Err(err).Msg("Error in time load location")
}
cronScheduler := gocron.NewScheduler(localTime)
Hope this helps and happy coding!
