{metadata.title}

This rule requires a scheduled job's config.schedule string to be a valid cron expression.

Severity

error. This rule is enabled in the recommended preset.

What it Targets

This rule targets files in your project's src/jobs directory. It reports a config.schedule whose string value isn't a valid cron expression. Interval-based schedules, such as { interval: 60000 }, aren't checked.

The following code is reported by the rule:

ts
export const config = {
  name: "sync-products",
  schedule: "not-a-cron",
}

Instead, use a valid cron expression:

ts
export const config = {
  name: "sync-products",
  schedule: "0 0 * * *",
}

Why it's Important

Medusa uses the schedule value to determine when to run the job. An invalid cron expression means the job is never scheduled correctly.

Learn more in the Scheduled Jobs documentation.

Fixable

This rule isn't auto-fixable.
