utilities/gitlab_recurring_issue#4: Implement Scheduling Support

Issue Information

Issue Type: issue
Status: closed
Reported By: btasker
Assigned To: btasker

Milestone: v0.1
Created: 08-Sep-24 13:38



Description

The script will be run once a day (by cron), but each ticket in the config needs to be able to specify how often it should be raised.

This is stateless (for the time being at least) so whilst it should be possible to say "Every Monday" it won't be possible to say "every 5 days".

Currently the configuration is provided in a schedule object. The example file contains the following mechanisms:

     # Run on the first day of every month
     schedule:
        day: 1
        month: "*"

     # Will not be supported for now
     schedule:
       every: 4 weeks

Need to build the logic which will read and check these schedules.

I'd like to support the following values for every:

  • Mon (tues.. etc)
  • run (do it every time the script is run)

Eventually I'd like it to support nth stuff too - every second Monday etc - but that's out of scope for now

OK we now support the following:

Specific Date:

schedule:
   day: 1
   month: sep

month can also be set to * to match every month. It can be a shortname or it can be numeric (i.e. 9 for September)

Periodic:

schedule:
  every: run

schedule:
  every: tue

Todo:

  • Allow month to be a list
  • Default day to *?

It's now possible to do the same with days:

schedule:
   day: 1
   month: 1/2/sep

I guess we should probably implement similar for every

The commit above implements support for nth weekday scheduling.

For example

schedule:
   nth:
     n: 3
     weekday: Sunday

Will trigger on the 3rd Sunday of the month

I think we've got enough flexibility to do most of what I currently want/need
