Cron - targeting a particular version of a particular module

[Dawid]

Hi all,

How can have a cron job target a particular version of a particular module? I've tried:

    target: version.module

Unfortunately, appcfg.py won't accept it:

Unable to assign value 'debug.reports' to attribute 'target':

Value 'debug.reports' for target does not match expression '^(?:^(?:(?:((?!-)[a-z\d\-]{1,63}):)?)((?!-)[a-z\d\-]{1,100})$)$'

  in "./cron.yaml", line 34, column 11

Many thanks,

Dawid

As far as I know, target only can specify a version or a module. What you can do is generate a dispatch file ( https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/modules/routing ) and map the version/module you want to a specific path.

I hit the same issues with tasks today. The documentation states that the target can have the version.module value so this sounds like a bug. I filed the issue, please star it.

Hi Dawid.

First thing in cron.yaml, you are supposed to use version or module in the target parameter. If you wish to target the cron job for a particular version and module you can use the dispatch.yaml as described by Vinny in the previous messages.

I am facing a similar issue.

Firstly, how do you target a specific version of a module in the dispatch.yaml? The docs only talk about modules.

Secondly, is there anyway to use more then 10 dispatch rules? I have already had to use 5 for routing subdomains (unless there is another way to achieve this?)

Wait, I got it. You can target the versions using the format:

version-dot-module

e.g. 1-5-dot-main-module

to add, my above answer only works for cron.yaml
