How to bind Meteor for Cron job?

Hi,

I’m trying to run cron job but I keep getting error:

Error: Meteor code must always run within a Fiber. Try wrapping callbacks that you pass to non-Meteor libraries with Meteor.bindEnvironment.

What I’m doing wrong? It looks like I am binding the Meteor.call?

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';

var CronJob = require('cron').CronJob;

console.log('Befire job instantiation');

const ExchangeRateSyncJob = new CronJob('0 */1 * * * *', function() {

Meteor.bindEnvironment(Meteor.call('ExchangeRateSync.create'))

});

console.log('After job instantiation');

ExchangeRateSyncJob.start();

What you need to bind is the callback function i.e. the callback when creating a new CronJob

You could also look at some atmosphere packages for cron jobs.

Ones that spring to mind:

Its this part:

const ExchangeRateSyncJob = new CronJob('0 */1 * * * *', function() {

Meteor.bindEnvironment(Meteor.call('ExchangeRateSync.create'))

});

Try this:

const ExchangeRateSyncJob = new CronJob('0 */1 * * * *', Meteor.bindEnvironment(function() {

Meteor.call('ExchangeRateSync.create')

}));

Thank you, worked very well :slight_smile:
