# cron

## DRAFT - Upgrading to v3
Cron V3 has been released!

To download the specific tagged release, run:
```bash
go get github.com/robfig/cron/v3@v3.0.0
```
Import it in your program as:
```go
import "github.com/robfig/cron/v3"
```
It requires Go 1.11 or later due to usage of Go Modules.

Refer to the documentation here:
http://godoc.org/github.com/robfig/cron

The rest of this document describes the the advances in v3 and a list of
breaking changes for users that wish to upgrade from an earlier version.

## Upgrading to v3 (June 2019)

cron v3 is a major upgrade to the library that addresses all outstanding bugs,
feature requests, and clarifications around usage. It is based on a merge of
master which contains various fixes to issues found over the years and the v2
branch which contains some backwards-incompatible features like the ability to
remove cron jobs. In addition, v3 adds support for Go Modules and cleans up
rough edges like the timezone support.
feature requests, and rough edges. It is based on a merge of master which
contains various fixes to issues found over the years and the v2 branch which
contains some backwards-incompatible features like the ability to remove cron
jobs. In addition, v3 adds support for Go Modules, cleans up rough edges like
the timezone support, and fixes a number of bugs.

New features:

- Support for Go modules. Callers must now import this library as
`github.com/robfig/cron/v3`, instead of `gopkg.in/...`

- Fixed bugs:
- 0f01e6b parser: fix combining of Dow and Dom (#70)
- dbf3220 adjust times when rolling the clock forward to handle non-existent midnight (#157)
- eeecf15 spec_test.go: ensure an error is returned on 0 increment (#144)
- 70971dc cron.Entries(): update request for snapshot to include a reply channel (#97)
- 1cba5e6 cron: fix: removing a job causes the next scheduled job to run too late (#206)

- Standard cron spec parsing by default (first field is "minute"), with an easy
way to opt into the seconds field (quartz-compatible). Although, note that the
year field (optional in Quartz) is not supported.

- Extensible, key/value logging via an interface that complies with
the https://github.com/go-logr/logr project.

It is currently IN DEVELOPMENT and will be considered released once a 3.0
version is tagged. It is backwards INCOMPATIBLE with both the v1 and v2
branches.
- The new Chain & JobWrapper types allow you to install "interceptors" to add
cross-cutting behavior like the following:
- Recover any panics from jobs
- Delay a job's execution if the previous run hasn't completed yet
- Skip a job's execution if the previous run hasn't completed yet
- Log each job's invocations
- Notification when jobs are completed

Updates required:
It is backwards incompatible with both v1 and v2. These updates are required:

- The v1 branch accepted an optional seconds field at the beginning of the cron
spec. This is non-standard and has led to a lot of confusion. The new default
parser conforms to the standard as described by [the Cron wikipedia page].

UPDATING: To retain the old behavior, construct your Cron with a custom
parser:

// Seconds field, required
cron.New(cron.WithSeconds())

// Seconds field, optional
cron.New(
cron.WithParser(
cron.SecondOptional | cron.Hour | cron.Dom | cron.Month | cron.Dow | cron.Descriptor))

```go
// Seconds field, required
cron.New(cron.WithSeconds())

// Seconds field, optional
cron.New(cron.WithParser(cron.NewParser(
cron.SecondOptional | cron.Minute | cron.Hour | cron.Dom | cron.Month | cron.Dow | cron.Descriptor,
)))
```
- The Cron type now accepts functional options on construction rather than the
ad-hoc behavior modification mechanisms before (setting a field, calling a setter).
previous ad-hoc behavior modification mechanisms (setting a field, calling a setter).

UPDATING: Code that sets Cron.ErrorLogger or calls Cron.SetLocation must be
updated to provide those values on construction.

UPDATING: No update is required.

Planned updates before calling v3 done:

- Job "Interceptors" (name tbd), which make it easy for callers to mix desired
behavior like the following:
- Recover any panics from jobs
- Block this job if the previous run hasn't completed yet
- Logging job invocations
- Notification when jobs are completed

- Fix all open bugs
- By default, cron will no longer recover panics in jobs that it runs.
Recovering can be surprising (see issue #192) and seems to be at odds with
typical behavior of libraries. Relatedly, the `cron.WithPanicLogger` option
has been removed to accommodate the more general JobWrapper type.

UPDATING: To opt into panic recovery and configure the panic logger:
```go
cron.New(cron.WithChain(
cron.Recover(logger), // or use cron.DefaultLogger
))
```
- In adding support for https://github.com/go-logr/logr, `cron.WithVerboseLogger` was
removed, since it is duplicative with the leveled logging.

UPDATING: Callers should use `WithLogger` and specify a logger that does not
discard `Info` logs. For convenience, one is provided that wraps `*log.Logger`:
```go
cron.New(
cron.WithLogger(cron.VerbosePrintfLogger(logger)))
```
