How are jobs persisted when server is restarted?

[artworkad]

When I create a job to run every 10 minutes from a running node instance, it works fine. However when I restart the node server, the jobs are not started again.

While my app is initializing I do:

global.agenda = new require('agenda')({
    db: {
        address: 'USER:PASSWORD@localhost:27017/agenda',
        collection: 'jobs'
    },
    processEvery: '30 seconds',
    maxConcurrency: 100
});

global.agenda.start();

I bind a job to a model of my app when the model is created:

agenda.define(model.id, function(job, done) {
    //do something
    done();
}); 
agenda.every('10 minutes', model.id);

This works when the job is created and while nodejs is running. However when nodejs is restarted, the jobs do not run.

Am I missing something?

So at the moment I am purging the database when my server is restarted and recreate all jobs.

@artworkad sorry for the delay. See #59 for a description of what I think is going wrong. We can confirm this by running in mongo:

db.agendaJobs.findAll().toArray();

See if the jobs that are stuck have a lockedAt set.

I suspect that your issue was indeed locking. This has been fixed and release in 0.6.8. See the documentation graceful shutdown. Feel free to reopen if you have further problems.
