"Weird scheduled-trigger behaviour"

Forge Forge Modules and Product Triggers

Hello,

We aim to use a scheduled trigger to execute a function on a daily basis. For testing purposes, we have set the scheduled trigger interval to 1 hour. The function “startImport” executes hourly, which is working as expected. However, after reviewing the logs, we are finding them confusing.

Code:

import { startImport, getScheduledImports } from './configuration-resolver';

export async function dailyScheduler() {
  console.log("starting daily scheduler")
  try {
    // Retrieve the list of imports to process
    const importList = await getScheduledImports();
    console.log(importList)
    if (importList) {
      for (const importItem of importList) {
        // Start the import for each item
        console.log(`Starting daily scheduled import for ${importItem.importId}`)
        await startImport(importItem);
      }
    } else {
      console.log('No imports to process today.');
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error in daily scheduler:', error);
  }
}

From the logs, it seems that, for some reason, the function is executing multiple times per hour. Additionally, the array is sometimes empty and sometimes contains a value. The array is retrieved using storage.get() and is not being modified in any other way, so I would expect it to contain a value every time. Could you explain why the scheduler appears to trigger multiple times per hour and why the array value from storage is inconsistent?

Thanks!

I found out what was causing this. I had multiple (3) sites selected on the Logs page of the Developer console, and it was logging for all of them. One was the correct site, while the others were the ones with the empty array - so the behavior was correct. I’ll leave this here in case anyone makes the same mistake as I did.
