[Bug]: repeatable jobs not working with python

[jaredmcqueen]

Version

5.13.0

Platform

NodeJS

What happened?

according to the docs:

Every time a repeatable job is picked up for processing, the next repeatable job is added to the queue with a proper delay. Repeatable jobs are thus nothing more than delayed jobs that are added to the queue according to some settings.

I have tried both cron schedule pattern and every. Both create the repeated job scaffolding in redis, and both jobs work on the first run

after the first job run, no new job is rescheduled, so jobs only ever repeat once.

How to reproduce.

create a repeatable job in typescript

pull the jobs in python

jobId does look different with repeatable jobs - like this:
jobId='repeat:dec4ba3039956b6560feae8ac0a67850:1726582010000

hi @jaredmcqueen, repeatable jobs are not currently supported in python version. Still working on the next breaking change for node version, so probably after that we can revisit this feature request

@roggervalf thanks for the update. What kind of timeline do you have in mind? Huge fan of this project and would be willing to help speed it along any way I can. Let me know what I can do to help.

hope that this week we can merge the next breaking change. Then we need to update pro versión and after that we will have time to revisit new feature request. So probably in 3 o 4 weeks.

hey @roggervalf just checking in after a few weeks. Was thinking about writing a workaround for python / cron. Holler if you have a timeline for true implementation. Again, I can help where needed

hey @roggervalf checking in to see if there's any update on the python client grabbing repeatable jobs. I know you're working hard releasing pro features and working to stabilize the TS/JS package. Thanks

Hi @jaredmcqueen sorry for the delay. Something that is needed is a similar package as https://www.npmjs.com/package/cron-parser to be used in python. Then logic can be backported. I'm still working on job scheduler logic these days. I was thinking on porting this logic after next breaking change, but we are also opened for pull request if someone wants to help on this feature.
