BuildMaster Automated BuildTriggers

[sbolisetty_3792]

Hi

Trying to explore creating a new build at a specific interval on a weekly basis. The field Run At Time always changing back to "00.00" even if I set it something like "05:00". Wondering what is the syntax that goes in here.

Using BuildMaster v7.0.4 on local environment.

Setting custom format with 12:35PM, see the screenshot below...

Gets saved as below:

What gives?

The documentation to the format is at https://www.quartz-scheduler.net/documentation/quartz-3.x/tutorial/crontrigger.html#format.... got it...

I am noticing that all scheduled builds only starts from tomorrow... I can't check if my schedule works by setting the build to happen next hour 13:00 or 13:15... it always seem to change the date to tomorrow and beyond...

Hi @sbolisetty_3792 ,

Cron format is a bit tricky, but it "can do anything"... so it seemed like an "decent" compromise to use that for advanced/custom intervals.

But to be honest, even after reading the docs, I can never figure it out, and always use a generator like this:

https://freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html

What cron expression do you use, and what time of day did you check the "next run time".

Cheers,

@atripp The links are very helpful... BM always showing the time in UTC...though I updated the server time to be localtimezone. So, the scheduling automatically changes the next run to be in the UTC format... once this is understood, I see that the cron based scheduling is working as expected...

Thanks for your help.
