Agenda scheduler not running

Question

I am trying to schedule a one-time job on a specific date, however, the callback never gets called once the date is reached. The job gets created and added to the collection. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Using agenda


const agenda = new Agenda({
  db: {address: '...', collection: 'agendaJobs'},
  useUnifiedTopology: true
});

agenda.on('ready', async () => {
   agenda.define("hello", 
    { priority: "high", concurrency: 20 },
    async (job) => {
      console.log("hello");
    });
});

async function start() {
  agenda.processEvery('1 second');
  await agenda.start();
  await agenda.schedule("in 10 seconds", "hello");
}

start();

move all lines of code outside of ready event callback in another anonymous `async` function, and define your job after agenda instance has been created — Chandan, Aug 17 '21 at 18:03
from Agenda documentation `Agenda will emit a ready event when properly connected to the database. It is safe to call agenda.start() without waiting for this event, as this is handled internally` — Chandan, Aug 17 '21 at 18:04
I am looking at my database lookup logs and it doesn't even look like its performing any db operation to loop up the collection — joethemow, Aug 18 '21 at 22:38
