[discussion] Duplicate job name question #168

Closed owen95t closed 2 years ago

owen95t commented 2 years ago

What would you like to discuss?

After a certain job is ran and successfully exits, when I try to create a new job with the same name, it is telling me that a job with that name already exists. How can that be? I may be missing something?

After a job is run the job is not deleted, only the worker. You could use bree.remove followed by bree.add or just modify bree.configs.jobs and then call bree.start. I would suggest using the first option as bree.add will validate the job.

When I have time I'll add this function which would make this process easier.

I see. Thanks I'll use bree.remove for now. But it seems that Bree caches these names as well as it seems to persist. I have no idea what names exists in the cache so is there a location to clear such cache? Or can I just reinstall bree.

Bree doesn't do any caching. It is just scanning the bree.configs.jobs[].name. You should be able to call bree.config.jobs.map((j) => j.name) to get the list.
