Having trouble with a recurring task

[Timothy Nott]

I'm trying to create a task that will broadcast to chat listeners if there is a change in status on the system.  First, I thought I'd jsut try to get a task to run every 5 seconds and write to the log, but I can't even get that to work.  

Here's my task:

exports.task = {
  name:          'broadcast',
  description:   'broadcast',
  frequency:     5000,
  queue:         'default',
  plugins:       [],
  pluginOptions: {},
  
  run: function(api, params, next){
 var error = null;
 api.log('trying to blow kisses from a task');
    next;
  }

Here's my config for tasks:

config.tasks = {

// Should this node run a scheduler to promote delayed tasks?

scheduler: false,

// what queues should the workers work and how many to spawn?

// ['*'] is one worker working the * queue

// ['high,low'] is one worker working 2 queues

queues: ['default'],

// how long to sleep between jobs / scheduler checks

timeout: 250,

// What redis server should we connect to for tasks / delayed jobs?

redis: config.redis

}

Any ideas?

Thanks!

2 issues here:

1: `next` is a function that should be called at the completion of the task (it's the callback).  The last line within task.run should be `next();`

2: If you are using delayed or period tasks, you will need to enable a scheduler process.  In the config, change `scheduler: false` to `scheduler: true`
