[BUG] Unable to schedule a task

[noloman]

Describe the bug I'm trying to schedule a task to be run every 5 minutes for testing purposes and nothing is happening.

To Reproduce

func scheduleBackgroundJobs(app *application) {
    netherlands, err := time.LoadLocation("Europe/Amsterdam")
    if err != nil {
        app.logger.Error("could not load location: %v", err)
    }
    redisConnOpt := asynq.RedisClientOpt{Addr: app.config.redisAddr, Password: "mytestpass"}
    scheduler := asynq.NewScheduler(redisConnOpt, &asynq.SchedulerOpts{
        Location: netherlands,
    })

    client := asynq.NewClient(redisConnOpt)
    defer client.Close()

    jobsUpdateTask, err := app.jobsUpdateTask.NewJobsUpdateTask()
    if err != nil {
        app.logger.Error("could not create task: %v", err)
    }

    entryID, err := scheduler.Register("*/5 * * * *", jobsUpdateTask)
    if err != nil {
        app.logger.Error("Error scheduling task: %v", err)
    }
    app.logger.Info("registered an entry: %q\n", entryID)

    if err := scheduler.Run(); err != nil {
        app.logger.Error("Error running scheduler: %v", err)
    }
}

However I see nothing being scheduled in the console (while before, I used client.enqueue and it worked). Running asynq dash -p shows the scheduled tasks in pending:

You need to run the Server alongside the Scheduler as described in the wiki. The server provisions workers.
