cron

Rule languages supports cron features

    • Given Clean OpenHAB with latest Ruby Libraries

  • Can use cron syntax to create a rule

    • Given a rule
      def five_seconds_from_now
  cron = (Time.now + 5).strftime('%S %M %H ? * ?').tap { |cron| logger.info(cron)}
end

rule 'Using Cron Syntax' do
  cron five_seconds_from_now
  run { logger.info "Cron rule executed" }
end
    • When I deploy the rule
    • Then It should log 'Cron rule executed' within 15 seconds

  • Cron can use specifiers

    • Given a rule
      schedule = Time.now + 5

rule 'Using Cron Syntax' do
  cron second: schedule.sec, minute: schedule.min
  run { logger.info "Cron rule executed" }
end
    • When I deploy the rule
    • Then It should not log 'Cron rule executed' within 3 seconds
    • And It should log 'Cron rule executed' within 10 seconds
