gocron: A Golang Job Scheduling Package.

Mentioned in Awesome Go CI State Go Report Card Go Doc

gocron is a job scheduling package which lets you run Go functions at pre-determined intervals using a simple, human-friendly syntax.

gocron is a Golang scheduler implementation similar to the Ruby module clockwork and the Python job scheduling package schedule.

See also these two great articles that were used for design input:

If you want to chat, you can find us at Slack!

Concepts

  • Scheduler: The scheduler tracks all the jobs assigned to it and makes sure they are passed to the executor when ready to be run. The scheduler is able to manage overall aspects of job behavior like limiting how many jobs are running at one time.
  • Job: The job is simply aware of the task (go function) it's provided and is therefore only able to perform actions related to that task like preventing itself from overruning a previous task that is taking a long time.
  • Executor: The executor, as it's name suggests, is simply responsible for calling the task (go function) that the job hands to it when sent by the scheduler.

Examples

s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

// Every starts the job immediately and then runs at the 
// specified interval
job, err := s.Every(5).Seconds().Do(func(){ ... })
if err != nil {
	// handle the error related to setting up the job
}

// to wait for the interval to pass before running the first job
// use WaitForSchedule or WaitForScheduleAll
s.Every(5).Second().WaitForSchedule().Do(func(){ ... })

s.WaitForScheduleAll()
s.Every(5).Second().Do(func(){ ... }) // waits for schedule
s.Every(5).Second().Do(func(){ ... }) // waits for schedule

// strings parse to duration
s.Every("5m").Do(func(){ ... })

s.Every(5).Days().Do(func(){ ... })

s.Every(1).Month(1, 2, 3).Do(func(){ ... })

// 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(){ ... })

s.Every(1).Day().At("10:30").At("08:00").Do(func(){ ... })

// Schedule each last day of the month
s.Every(1).MonthLastDay().Do(func(){ ... })

// Or each last day of every other month
s.Every(2).MonthLastDay().Do(func(){ ... })

// cron expressions supported
s.Cron("*/1 * * * *").Do(task) // every minute

// cron second-level expressions supported
s.CronWithSeconds("*/1 * * * * *").Do(task) // every second

// you can start running the scheduler in two different ways:
// starts the scheduler asynchronously
s.StartAsync()
// starts the scheduler and blocks current execution path
s.StartBlocking()

// stop the running scheduler in two different ways:
// stop the scheduler
s.Stop()

// stop the scheduler and notify the `StartBlocking()` to exit
s.StopBlockingChan()

For more examples, take a look in our go docs

Options

Interval Supported schedule options
sub-second StartAt()
milliseconds StartAt()
seconds StartAt()
minutes StartAt()
hours StartAt()
days StartAt(), At()
weeks StartAt(), At(), Weekday() (and all week day named functions)
months StartAt(), At()

There are several options available to restrict how jobs run:

Mode Function Behavior
Default jobs are rescheduled at every interval
Job singleton SingletonMode() a long running job will not be rescheduled until the current run is completed
Scheduler limit SetMaxConcurrentJobs() set a collective maximum number of concurrent jobs running across the scheduler
Distributed locking WithDistributedLocker() prevents the same job from being run more than once when running multiple instances of the scheduler
Distributed elector WithDistributedElector() multiple instances exist in a distributed scenario, only the leader instance can run jobs

Distributed Locker Implementations

  • Redis: redislock go get github.com/go-co-op/gocron-redis-lock

Tags

Jobs may have arbitrary tags added which can be useful when tracking many jobs. The scheduler supports both enforcing tags to be unique and when not unique, running all jobs with a given tag.

s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
s.TagsUnique()

_, _ = s.Every(1).Week().Tag("foo").Do(task)
_, err := s.Every(1).Week().Tag("foo").Do(task)
// error!!!

s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

s.Every(2).Day().Tag("tag").At("10:00").Do(task)
s.Every(1).Minute().Tag("tag").Do(task)
s.RunByTag("tag")
// both jobs will run

FAQ

  • Q: I'm running multiple pods on a distributed environment. How can I make a job not run once per pod causing duplication?

    • We recommend using your own lock solution within the jobs themselves (you could use Redis, for example)
    • A2: Use the scheduler option WithDistributedLocker and either use an implemented backend or implement your own and contribute it back in a PR!

  • Q: I've removed my job from the scheduler, but how can I stop a long-running job that has already been triggered?

    • A: We recommend using a means of canceling your job, e.g. a context.WithCancel().
    • A2: You can listen to the job context Done channel to know when the job has been canceled 
      task := func(in string, job gocron.Job) {
    fmt.Printf("this job's last run: %s this job's next run: %s\n", job.LastRun(), job.NextRun())
    fmt.Printf("in argument is %s\n", in)

    ticker := time.NewTicker(100 * time.Millisecond)
    defer ticker.Stop()

    for {
        select {
        case <-job.Context().Done():
            fmt.Printf("function has been canceled, performing cleanup and exiting gracefully\n")
            return
        case <-ticker.C:
            fmt.Printf("performing a hard job that takes a long time that I want to kill whenever I want\n")
        }
    }
}

var err error
s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
s.SingletonModeAll()
j, err := s.Every(1).Hour().Tag("myJob").DoWithJobDetails(task, "foo")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalln("error scheduling job", err)
}

s.StartAsync()

// Simulate some more work
time.Sleep(time.Second)

// I want to stop the job, together with the underlying goroutine
fmt.Printf("now I want to kill the job\n")
err = s.RemoveByTag("myJob")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalln("error removing job by tag", err)
}

// Wait a bit so that we can see that the job is exiting gracefully
time.Sleep(time.Second)
fmt.Printf("Job: %#v, Error: %#v", j, err)

Constants

View Source 
const (
	// RescheduleMode - the default is that if a limit on maximum
	// concurrent jobs is set and the limit is reached, a job will
	// skip it's run and try again on the next occurrence in the schedule
	RescheduleMode limitMode = iota

	// WaitMode - if a limit on maximum concurrent jobs is set
	// and the limit is reached, a job will wait to try and run
	// until a spot in the limit is freed up.
	//
	// Note: this mode can produce unpredictable results as
	// job execution order isn't guaranteed. For example, a job that
	// executes frequently may pile up in the wait queue and be executed
	// many times back to back when the queue opens.
	//
	// Warning: do not use this mode if your jobs will continue to stack
	// up beyond the ability of the limit workers to keep up. An example of
	// what NOT to do:
	//
	//     s.Every("1s").Do(func() {
	//         // this will result in an ever-growing number of goroutines
	//    	   // blocked trying to send to the buffered channel
	//         time.Sleep(10 * time.Minute)
	//     })

Functions

func SetPanicHandler added in v1.14.0 

func SetPanicHandler(handler PanicHandlerFunc)

SetPanicHandler sets the global panicHandler to the given function. Leaving it nil or setting it to nil disables automatic panic handling. If the panicHandler is not nil, any panic that occurs during executing a job will be recovered and the panicHandlerFunc will be called with the job's funcName and the recover data.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

func main() {
	gocron.SetPanicHandler(func(jobName string, _ interface{}) {
		fmt.Printf("Panic in job: %s", jobName)
		fmt.Println("do something to handle the panic")
	})
}

Output:

Types

type Elector added in v1.34.0 

type Elector interface {
	// IsLeader should return an error if the job should not be scheduled and nil if the job should be scheduled.

}

Elector determines the leader from instances asking to be the leader. Only the leader runs jobs. If the leader goes down, a new leader will be elected.

type EventListener added in v1.29.0 

type EventListener func(j *Job)

EventListener functions utilize the job's name and are triggered by or in the condition that the name suggests

func AfterJobRuns added in v1.29.0 

func AfterJobRuns(eventListenerFunc func(jobName string)) EventListener

AfterJobRuns is called after the job is run This is called even when an error is returned

func BeforeJobRuns added in v1.29.0 

func BeforeJobRuns(eventListenerFunc func(jobName string)) EventListener

BeforeJobRuns is called before the job is run

func WhenJobReturnsError added in v1.29.0

	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Job struct stores the information necessary to run a Job

func (*Job) Context added in v1.23.0 

func (j *Job) Context() context.Context

Context returns the job's context. The context controls cancellation.

func (*Job) Error added in v0.8.0

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	job, _ := s.Every(1).Second().Do(task)
	go func() {
		for {
			fmt.Println("Count of finished job runs", job.FinishedRunCount())
			time.Sleep(time.Second)
		}
	}()
	s.StartAsync()
}

Output:

func (*Job) GetName added in v1.35.0 

func (j *Job) GetName() string

GetName returns the name of the current job. The name is either the name set using Job.Name() / Scheduler.Name() or the name of the funcion as Go sees it, for example `main.func1`

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	job, _ := s.Every(1).Second().Do(task)
	s.StartAsync()

	fmt.Println("Last run:", job.LastRun())
}

Output:

func (*Job) LimitRunsTo added in v0.3.2 

func (j *Job) LimitRunsTo(n int)

LimitRunsTo limits the number of executions of this job to n. Upon reaching the limit, the job is removed from the scheduler.

Note: If a job is added to a running scheduler and this method is then used you may see the job run more than the set limit as job is scheduled immediately by default upon being added to the scheduler. It is recommended to use the LimitRunsTo() func on the scheduler chain when scheduling the job. For example: scheduler.LimitRunsTo(1).Do()

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	s.StartAsync()
}

Output:

func (*Job) Name added in v1.26.0 

func (j *Job) Name(name string)

Name sets the name of the current job.

If the scheduler is running using WithDistributedLocker(), the job name is used as the distributed lock key.

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

	s.StartAsync()
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) MonthLastDay added in v1.10.0 

func (s *Scheduler) MonthLastDay(dayCountBeforeLastDayOfMonth ...int) *Scheduler

MonthLastDay sets the unit with months at every last day of the month The optional parameter is a negative integer denoting days previous to the last day of the month. E.g. -1 == the penultimate day of the month, -2 == two days for the last day of the month

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	_, _ = s.Every(1).MonthLastDay().Do(task)
	_, _ = s.Every(2).MonthLastDay().Do(task)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).MonthLastDay(-1).Do(task)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).MonthLastDay(-2).Do(task)
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) Months added in v0.3.0 

func (s *Scheduler) Months(daysOfTheMonth ...int) *Scheduler

Months sets the unit with months Note: Only days 1 through 28 are allowed for monthly schedules Note: Multiple of the same day of month is not allowed Note: Negative numbers are special values and can only occur as single argument and count backwards from the end of the month -1 == last day of the month, -2 == penultimate day of the month

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	_, _ = s.Every(1).Months(1).Do(task)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).Months(-1).Do(task)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).Months(-2).Do(task)
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) Name added in v1.26.0 

func (s *Scheduler) Name(name string) *Scheduler

Name sets the name of the current job.

If the scheduler is running using WithDistributedLocker(), the job name is used as the distributed lock key. If the job name is not set, the function name is used as the distributed lock key.

func (*Scheduler) NextRun 

func (s *Scheduler) NextRun() (*Job, time.Time)

NextRun datetime when the next Job should run.

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	_, _ = s.Every("1s").Do(task)
	s.StartAsync()
	s.PauseJobExecution(true)
	// jobs don't run
	s.PauseJobExecution(false)
	// jobs run again
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) RegisterEventListeners added in v1.29.0 

func (s *Scheduler) RegisterEventListeners(eventListeners ...EventListener)

RegisterEventListeners accepts EventListeners and registers them for all jobs in the scheduler at the time this function is called. The event listeners are then called at the times described by each listener. If a new job is added, an additional call to this method, or the job specific version must be executed in order for the new job to trigger event listeners.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	s.Every("1s").Name("my_func_1").Do(func() error { return fmt.Errorf("error_1") })
	s.Every("1s").Name("my_func_2").
		StartAt(time.Now().UTC().Add(50 * time.Millisecond)).
		Do(func() error { return fmt.Errorf("error_2") })

	s.RegisterEventListeners(
		gocron.AfterJobRuns(func(jobName string) {
			fmt.Printf("afterJobRuns: %s\n", jobName)
		}),
		gocron.BeforeJobRuns(func(jobName string) {
			fmt.Printf("beforeJobRuns: %s\n", jobName)
		}),
		gocron.WhenJobReturnsError(func(jobName string, err error) {
			fmt.Printf("whenJobReturnsError: %s, %v\n", jobName, err)
		}),
		gocron.WhenJobReturnsNoError(func(jobName string) {
			fmt.Printf("whenJobReturnsNoError: %s\n", jobName)
		}),
	)
	s.StartAsync()
	time.Sleep(120 * time.Millisecond)
	s.Stop()
}

Output:

beforeJobRuns: my_func_1
whenJobReturnsError: my_func_1, error_1
afterJobRuns: my_func_1
beforeJobRuns: my_func_2
whenJobReturnsError: my_func_2, error_2
afterJobRuns: my_func_2

func (*Scheduler) Remove 

func (s *Scheduler) Remove(job interface{})

Remove specific Job by function

Removing a job stops that job's timer. However, if a job has already been started by the job's timer before being removed, the only way to stop it through gocron is to use DoWithJobDetails and access the job's Context which informs you when the job has been canceled.

Alternatively, the job function would need to have implemented a means of stopping, e.g. using a context.WithCancel() passed as params to Do method.

The above are based on what the underlying library suggests https://pkg.go.dev/time#Timer.Stop.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).Week().Do(task)
	s.StartAsync()
	s.Remove(task)
	fmt.Println(s.Len())
}

Output:

	})
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) SingletonMode added in v0.7.0 

func (s *Scheduler) SingletonMode() *Scheduler

SingletonMode prevents a new job from starting if the prior job has not yet completed its run

Warning: do not use this mode if your jobs will continue to stack up beyond the ability of the limit workers to keep up. An example of what NOT to do: 

 s.Every("1s").SingletonMode().Do(func() {
     // this will result in an ever-growing number of goroutines
	   // blocked trying to send to the buffered channel
     time.Sleep(10 * time.Minute)
 })
Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).Second().SingletonMode().Do(task)
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) SingletonModeAll added in v1.12.0 

func (s *Scheduler) SingletonModeAll()

SingletonModeAll prevents new jobs from starting if the prior instance of the particular job has not yet completed its run

Warning: do not use this mode if your jobs will continue to stack up beyond the ability of the limit workers to keep up. An example of what NOT to do: 

 s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
 s.SingletonModeAll()

 s.Every("1s").Do(func() {
     // this will result in an ever-growing number of goroutines
	   // blocked trying to send to the buffered channel
     time.Sleep(10 * time.Minute)
 })
Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	s.SingletonModeAll()

	_, _ = s.Every(1).Second().Do(task)
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) StartAsync added in v0.2.0 

func (s *Scheduler) StartAsync()

StartAsync starts all jobs without blocking the current thread

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	_, _ = s.Every(3).Seconds().Do(task)
	s.StartAsync()
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) StartAt 

func (s *Scheduler) StartAt(t time.Time) *Scheduler

StartAt schedules the next run of the Job. If this time is in the past, the configured interval will be used to calculate the next future time

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	specificTime := time.Date(2019, time.November, 10, 15, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).Hour().StartAt(specificTime).Do(task)
	s.StartBlocking()
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) StartBlocking added in v0.2.0 

func (s *Scheduler) StartBlocking()

StartBlocking starts all jobs and blocks the current thread. This blocking method can be stopped with Stop() from a separate goroutine.

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	_, _ = s.Every(3).Seconds().Do(task)
	s.StartBlocking()
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) StartImmediately 

func (s *Scheduler) StartImmediately() *Scheduler

StartImmediately sets the job to run immediately upon starting the scheduler or adding the job to a running scheduler. This overrides the jobs start status of any previously called methods in the chain.

Note: This is the default behavior of the scheduler for most jobs, but is useful for overriding the default behavior of Cron scheduled jobs which default to WaitForSchedule.

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	_, _ = s.Cron("0 0 * * 6,0").StartImmediately().Do(task)
	s.StartBlocking()
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) Stop added in v0.2.0 

func (s *Scheduler) Stop()

Stop stops the scheduler. This is a no-op if the scheduler is already stopped. It waits for all running jobs to finish before returning, so it is safe to assume that running jobs will finish when calling this.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).Second().Do(task)
	s.StartAsync()
	s.Stop()
	fmt.Println(s.IsRunning())

	s = gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	go func() {
		time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
		s.Stop()
	}()

	s.StartBlocking()
	fmt.Println(".Stop() stops the blocking start")

}

Output:

false
.Stop() stops the blocking start

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	j, _ := s.Every(1).Day().Sunday().Do(task)
	s.StartAsync()
	wd, _ := j.Weekday()
	fmt.Println(wd)
}

Output:

Sunday

func (*Scheduler) Tag added in v0.6.0

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	j, _ := s.Every(1).Week().Tag("tag").Do(task)
	fmt.Println(j.Tags())
}

Output:

[tag]

func (*Scheduler) TagsUnique added in v0.8.0 

func (s *Scheduler) TagsUnique()

TagsUnique forces job tags to be unique across the scheduler when adding tags with (s *Scheduler) Tag(). This does not enforce uniqueness on tags added via (j *Job) Tag()

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	s.TagsUnique()

	fmt.Println(wd)
}

Output:

Tuesday

func (*Scheduler) Update added in v1.2.0 

func (s *Scheduler) Update() (*Job, error)

Update stops the job (if running) and starts it with any updates that were made to the job in the scheduler chain. Job() must be called first to put the given job in focus.

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
	_, _ = s.Job(j).Every("10m").Update()

	time.Sleep(30 * time.Minute)
	_, _ = s.Job(j).Every(1).Day().At("02:00").Update()
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) WaitForSchedule added in v1.5.0 

func (s *Scheduler) WaitForSchedule() *Scheduler

WaitForSchedule sets the job to not start immediately but rather wait until the first scheduled interval.

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

	s.StartAsync()
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) WaitForScheduleAll added in v1.5.0 

func (s *Scheduler) WaitForScheduleAll()

WaitForScheduleAll defaults the scheduler to create all new jobs with the WaitForSchedule option as true. The jobs will not start immediately but rather will wait until their first scheduled interval.

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	s.WaitForScheduleAll()

	// all jobs will run 5 minutes from the scheduler starting

	s.StartAsync()
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) Wednesday 

func (s *Scheduler) Wednesday() *Scheduler

Wednesday sets the start day as Wednesday

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	j, _ := s.Every(1).Day().Wednesday().Do(task)
	s.StartAsync()
	wd, _ := j.Weekday()
	fmt.Println(wd)
}

Output:

Wednesday

func (*Scheduler) Week 

func (s *Scheduler) Week() *Scheduler

Week sets the unit with weeks

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	_, _ = s.Every(1).Week().Do(task)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).Weeks().Do(task)

	_, _ = s.Every(1).Week().Monday().Wednesday().Friday().Do(task)
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) Weekday 

func (s *Scheduler) Weekday(weekDay time.Weekday) *Scheduler

Weekday sets the scheduledWeekdays with a specifics weekdays

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	_, _ = s.Every(1).Week().Weekday(time.Monday).Do(task)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).Weeks().Weekday(time.Tuesday).Weekday(time.Friday).Do(task)
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) Weeks 

func (s *Scheduler) Weeks() *Scheduler

Weeks sets the unit with weeks

Example 
package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
)

var task = func() {}

func main() {
	s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)

	_, _ = s.Every(1).Week().Do(task)
	_, _ = s.Every(1).Weeks().Do(task)

	_, _ = s.Every(2).Weeks().Monday().Wednesday().Friday().Do(task)
}

Output:

func (*Scheduler) WhenJobReturnsError added in v1.37.0 

func (s *Scheduler) WhenJobReturnsError(eventListenerFunc func(jobName string, err error)) *Scheduler

WhenJobStarts registers an event listener that is called when a job starts.

func (*Scheduler) WhenJobReturnsNoError added in v1.37.0 

func (s *Scheduler) WhenJobReturnsNoError(eventListenerFunc func(jobName string)) *Scheduler

WhenJobStarts registers an event listener that is called when a job starts.

func (*Scheduler) WithDistributedElector added in v1.34.0 

func (s *Scheduler) WithDistributedElector(e Elector)

WithDistributedElector prevents the same job from being run more than once when multiple schedulers are trying to schedule the same job, by allowing only the leader to run jobs. Non-leaders wait until the leader instance goes down and then a new leader is elected.

Compared with the distributed lock, the election is the same as leader/follower framework. All jobs are only scheduled and execute on the leader scheduler instance. Only when the leader scheduler goes down and one of the scheduler instances is successfully elected, then the new leader scheduler instance can schedule jobs.

func (*Scheduler) WithDistributedLocker added in v1.24.0 

func (s *Scheduler) WithDistributedLocker(l Locker)

WithDistributedLocker prevents the same job from being run more than once when multiple schedulers are trying to schedule the same job.

One strategy to reduce splay in the job execution times when using intervals (e.g. 1s, 1m, 1h), on each scheduler instance, is to use StartAt with time.Now().Round(interval) to start the job at the next interval boundary.

Another strategy is to use the Cron or CronWithSeconds methods as they use the same behavior described above using StartAt.

NOTE - the Locker will NOT lock jobs using the singleton options: SingletonMode, or SingletonModeAll

NOTE - beware of potential race conditions when running the Locker with SetMaxConcurrentJobs and WaitMode as jobs are not guaranteed to be locked when each scheduler's is below its limit and able to run the job.

Example 
package main

import ()

func main() {
	//redisOptions := &redis.Options{
	//	Addr: "localhost:6379",
	//}
	//redisClient := redis.NewClient(redisOptions)
	//locker, err := redislock.NewRedisLocker(redisClient)
	//if err != nil {
	//	// handle the error
	//}
	//
	//s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
	//s.WithDistributedLocker(locker)
	//_, err = s.Every("500ms").Do(task)
	//if err != nil {
	//	// handle the error
	//}
}

Output:

type TimeWrapper added in v1.16.0 

type TimeWrapper interface {
	Now(*time.Location) time.Time
	Unix(int64, int64) time.Time
	Sleep(time.Duration)
}

TimeWrapper is an interface that wraps the Now, Sleep, and Unix methods of the time package. This allows the library and users to mock the time package for testing.
