Schedule isn't respected

[jgoux]

Hello all :)

I've setup scheduling for renovate in our repository like this :

{
  "schedule": [
    "after 9am every weekday",
    "before 6pm every weekday"
  ],
  "timezone": "Europe/Paris"
}

But we still receive PR from Renovate outside of these time frames, is my schedule declaration wrong?

We want PRs to be opened between 9am and 6pm from monday to friday. 🕐

Thanks for your help!

You need to share some more details, as this should work.

See here for working sample

I know now, you've misinterpreted the schedules.

Multiple schedules are combined with or so first matching schedule passes. try:

{
  "schedule": [
    "9am through 6pm every weekday",
  ],
  "timezone": "Europe/Paris"
}

we are using this to parse schedules: https://breejs.github.io/later/parsers.html#text

I think that's it @viceice !

I was confused by this in your documentation :

Is it a mistake?

Thanks both of you, as always, the support is so fast! 👏

Nope, because those schedules do not overlap, so they need to be or-ed 🙃

Read it as after 10pm every weekday or before 5am every weekday or every weekend

so your first schedule was like after 9am every weekday or before 6pm every weekday so even 11am matches 😉

Oh ok got it, I have to think in term of "from midnight to 5am" and "from 10pm to midnight"!

By the way, the proposed syntax doesn't work (parse error), the right one is :

"after 9am and before 6pm every weekday"

Solution:

{
  "schedule": [
    "after 9am and before 6pm every weekday",
  ],
  "timezone": "Europe/Paris"
}
