Generator style callback does not work

[onevcat]

Hi, I am new to ES6 and node-schedule. I am trying to schedule a job with a generator function as callback. I saw that #210 mentioned that generator was supported. Here is my code below:

const date = momemt().add(1, 's'); // 1 second after now.
schedule.scheduleJob('taksid', date, function*(){
    console.log('Hi');
    const result = yield Message.findAll();
    console.log('Result: ' + result);
});

The Hi will be printed out correctly, but the Result will never printed out. I am using yield Message.findAll() quite a lot in other places without problem, so I guess it might be something in the generator way of node-schedule.

I also tried to insert an yield line in the test cases of node-schedule, right before the test.ok(true);:

var job = new schedule.Job(function*() {
    yield 1; // Insert this yield statement
    test.ok(true);
});

The test becomes failing too.

Since I am new to Javascript and generator, I am not sure what happened. Am I using generator correctly or did I miss something?

Thanks for any kind suggestion.

@onevcat I don't really know as I don't use generators myself. /cc @jonhester @tejasmanohar @albertdatui ?

I can confirm this doesn't work, @albertdatui are you trying to fix it?

Hi! I used Node 'co' module for that.
let job = schedule.scheduleJob(date, function(x) {
co(function* () {
let variable = yield ...
}
}.bind(null,x))
P.S. Works with AdonisJS

you can try

let job = schedule.scheduleJob(date, function(x) {
  const a = function * () { console.log('hello world') }
  a.next()
})
