So I guess this is a bug. Can you take a look at this, Achipa? Here is
what I did.
1. I am running web2py_win.zip, the windows distribution bundle, v
1.56.3, on a Windows XP Home edition 5.1.2600, SP3.
2. For simplicity, I have this in my controller/default.py
def trigger():
import logging
logging.warn('trigger() says hi')
And this in my cron/crontab
*/1 * * * * root *applications/myapp/cron/trigger.py
And this is the cron/trigger.py
import urllib
urllib.urlopen('http://%s/myapp/default/
trigger'%request.env.http_host).read()
3. Then I start web2py by:
web2py.exe -a1 -D1
This shall result in a hardcron, isn't it? The output on console is
nothing special. However, trigger is not invoked automatically after
minutes and minutes...
4. Then I manually visit http://localhost:8000, this time the trigger
is pulled, the console gives lots of output include the wanted
"WARNING:root:trigger() says hi". However, nothing happened one more
minute later, unless I manually visit http://localhost:8000 one more
time.
