[Bug]: Scheduled api routes don't seem to run

[RohitRajendran]

Summary

I've enabled scheduled api routes for one of my api routes. I can see the function in the functions tab for Netlify with the correct schedule and the logs seem to indicate that it has run but I'm not seeing any indication that it actually has. None of the console logs I've added inside the function appear in the logs nor does it seem to be doing what it's supposed to. Any idea why or how to further debug this? I've tried running it locally and it works fine.

Logs: May 14, 08:00:08 AM: faa69117 INFO - info Loaded env from /var/task/.env.production May 14, 08:00:08 AM: faa69117 INFO [POST] /.netlify/functions/_api_user-subscription-analysis-handler (API) May 14, 08:00:13 AM: faa69117 Duration: 3567.34 ms Memory Usage: 175 MB Init Duration: 634.92 ms

Steps to reproduce

Haven't tried reproducing in a clean repo yet but general steps:

1. Create an api route that's supposed to run on a schedule
2. Deploy
3. See if it actually runs and does what it is supposed to

Hi!

Please provide a minimal reproduction and deploy it to Netlify so that we can check both the code & logs.

Thanks!

Hey @LekoArts! You can find a minimal reproduction here and logs here.

Any suggestions on what to do or how to debug? I still haven't been able to get this scheduled functions to work.

[RohitRajendran]

@LekoArts @nickytonline - I've still been having issues with this. Any pointers on how to debug or fix? Happy to help investigate but not exactly sure how to debug with scheduled functions.

[MarcL]

Hey @RohitRajendran.

The team at Netlify have now released the new v5 Next.js runtime which has support for both pages and app router, on-demand and time-based revalidation, automatic fine-grained cache control, and automatic image optimization using Netlify's image CDN.

We're not currently supporting the scheduled/background function Next API routes in the new runtime. You can refactor them to use standard scheduled functions. Here's an example repo for you with the migration path: https://github.com/netlify/next-scheduled-bg-function-migration

You can find the documentation and additional information on the new runtime here: Next.js on Netlify

The v4 runtime is now in the maintenance support phase with no new features being added. Occasional bug fixes and security patches will be applied when needed.

Thanks!
