I have written a scheduled function in node.js using typescript that successfully deploys.The related pub/sub topic gets created automatically but somehow the related scheduler job does not.

This is even after getting these lines

i  scheduler: ensuring necessary APIs are enabled...
i  pubsub: ensuring necessary APIs are enabled...
+  scheduler: all necessary APIs are enabled
+  pubsub: all necessary APIs are enabled
+  functions: created scheduler job firebase-schedule-myFunction-us-central1
+  functions[myFunction(us-central1)]: Successful create operation.

+  Deploy complete!

I have cloned the sample at https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples/tree/master/delete-unused-accounts-cron which deploys and automatically creates both the related pub/sub topic and scheduler job.

What could i be missing?

  • If the Firebase CLI doesn't work the way you expect, contact Firebase support directly with a bug report. There's not much Stack Overflow can do to help. https://support.google.com/firebase/contact/support – Doug Stevenson Jul 16 '19 at 15:40

Try to change .timeZone('utc') (per the docs) to .timeZone('Etc/UTC') (also per the self-contradictory docs).

It seems that when using the 'every 5 minutes' syntax, the deploy does not create the scheduler job.

Switching to the cron syntax solved the problem for me

Maybe your cron syntax isn't correct. There are some tools to validate the syntax

Check your firebase-debug.log

At some point,it will invoke a POST request to:

>> HTTP REQUEST POST https://cloudscheduler.googleapis.com/v1beta1/projects/*project_name*/locations/*location*/jobs

This must be a 200 response.
