Is there a way to schedule a job every hour at the last second, i.e., 59:59?

I'm a new user. So, please excuse me if I'm not using it as intended.

It accepts every().hour.at("59:59").do(job) but doesn't seem to be doing anything. What am I missing? Also, it seems syntactically inconsistent without the colon preceding the minutes time value.

Wondered if every().hour.at should accept both ":MM:SS" or ":MM". If 2 time values are present, it is interpreted as (minutes, seconds) and if just one time value is present, it is interpreted as minutes.

Hi! Welcome to Schedule. 😄 You are using schedule exactly as it is intended. 👍

You write that it doesn't seem to do anything, let's investigate! Can you share your some more of your code, including the run_pending part?

The following should schedule the job at the last second before every hour.

schedule.every().hour.at('59:59')

Unfortunately you this is currently a little broken. There is a bug in the latest version (0.6.0) that will cause this code to schedule the job to run at 59:00, instead of 59:59. This bug has been solved in #290 and will be included in the next release.

Firstly, let me thank you for creating this package and making it open source - it's quite elegant actually and it was exactly what I needed for my use case. Second, thanks for responding. I will await the next rel. to pick up the fix. When do you think we can expect the next rel?

Btw, the code you mentioned is exactly what I was using

schedule.every().hour.at('59:59').do(job)

Thanks for the compliments!

The next release is quite close, see #412.

I will close this issue now as it seems the question has been answered. Feel free to comment if you still have a question.
