A Probot extension to trigger events on an hourly schedule.
Node >= 10
$ npm install probot-scheduler-pro
const createScheduler = require('probot-scheduler-pro')
module.exports = (robot) => {
createScheduler(robot)
robot.on('schedule.repository', context => {
// this event is triggered on an interval, which is 1 hr by default
})
}
There are a few environment variables that can change the behavior of the scheduler:
-
DISABLE_DELAY=true
- Perform the schedule immediately on startup, instead of waiting for the random delay between 0 and 59:59 for each repository, which exists to avoid all schedules being performed at the same time. -
IGNORED_ACCOUNTS=comma,separated,list
- GitHub usernames to ignore when scheduling. These are typically spammy or abusive accounts.
There are a few runtime options you can pass that can change the behavior of the scheduler:
-
delay
- whenfalse
, the schedule will be performed immediately on startup. Whentrue
, there will be a random delay between 0 andinterval
for each repository to avoid all schedules being performed at the same time. Default:true
unless theDISABLE_DELAY
environment variable is set. -
interval
- the number of milliseconds to schedule each repository. Default: 1 hour (60 * 60 * 1000
)
For example, if you want your app to be triggered once every day with delay enabled on first run:
const createScheduler = require('probot-scheduler-pro')
module.exports = (robot) => {
createScheduler(robot, {
delay: !!process.env.DISABLE_DELAY, // delay is enabled on first run
interval: 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 // 1 day
})
robot.on('schedule.repository', context => {
// this event is triggered once every day, with a random delay
})
}
