# lib/tasks/scheduler.rake
namespace :scheduler do
  desc 'Expire old job postings'
  task expire_job_postings: :environment do
    puts 'Expiring old job postings...'
    # logic to expire job postings
    JobPosting.where('application_deadline < ?', Time.current)
              .where(is_expired: false)
              .update_all(is_expired: true)

if you are running an in code scheduler you have no need to railways cron scheduler

this is really strange, I understand cron jobs but I don't understand how railway uses it do I need to define it for railway somewhere?

Brody•11mo ago

you are using an in code scheduler, you have no need for railways cron scheduler. what issues are you facing specifically?

𓆩♡𓆪OP•11mo ago

I have defined the cron job up. How do I run it natively on railway? as I understood it has built-in cron jobs so I don't have to install a gem for it

Brody•11mo ago

deploy your repo with the applicable start command to start your in code cron scheduler, nothing special to it. but again, you are already using an in code cron scheduler you have no need for railways cron scheduler

I think the docs need to be improved or the UI.
