Windows path not found for django_crontab #146

Closed xporium closed 2 years ago

xporium commented 5 years ago

Hello All,

I am trying to use django_crontab to run repetitive task. I want to insert records to database on a particular time. Also, I am in process of learning django hence I m trying to reach every aspect of django.

The issue i am facing i m able to configure django_crontab but its not able to find cron.py. I am using windows 10 and i believe it must be something else for windows

CRONJOBS = [ ('/2 *', 'test.test_app.cron.my_scheduled_job') ]

testis my project directory.

When I run the command manage.py crontab add it gives error saying "The system cannot find the path specified."

I am using Windows.

Please help..

have you found a solution? this lib work on windows? thank you

This library does work on windows, but it looks like you are using django-crontab and not this library django-cron. Windows does not have a crontab. You can use the task scheduler to set up a job to run the management command. You can take a look at #145 in which I explain how I have my task set up.
