Hi @kamilmysliwiec.

In the link that you passed me appears as a range of values 1-12, and I'm reporting that, that the library uses 0 to 11.

@kb05 You are right but I guess its not going to change since schedule depends on cron library which has
wrong range for month.

This should be written in the doc.

@kamilmysliwiec the URL you have sent is wrong.

has wrong range for month.

isn't wrong, it's just how the month part of Date is encoded (0-based)

[micalevisk]

I suggest reporting this to node-cron side instead. I can't tell if they're translating those 1-12 to 0-11 or not.

On NestJS docs there is a mention tp that package, so I guess there's nothing to do on our side.

Thanks @micalevisk

Sure, are we talking about same cron lib since:
@kamilmysliwiec sent

https://github.com/node-cron/node-cron

but

@nestjs/schedule has dependency on

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/cron

[micalevisk]

oh, then we should update the docs. PRs are more than welcomed

https://github.com/kelektiv/node-cron#cron-ranges

[jkrajinovic]

Sure, what repo?

[micalevisk]

https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/task-scheduling

Change that node-cron to cron. The hyperlink is correct

Hope the PR is valid.
