Still not getting this.
The gae docs says 'A cron.yaml file in the root directory of your
application (alongside app.yaml) configures scheduled tasks for your Python
application.'
so I made a cron.yaml file in my root directory in /web2py folder right
where the app.yaml file is. Looking at their example I set my cron.yaml
file to:
cron:
- description: test
url: /default/test
schedule: every 1 minutes
where default/test is a function that adds an entry to a database. I can
open my browser and go to myApp/default/test and see the entry gets added,
so it's safe to say the function works, however the cron.yaml file doesn't
seem to be doing anything. I would expect this to be called every minute
but nothing happens. What am I missing?
