crontab django Erorr

I'm trying to start simple crontab-django job scheduled (os is Ubuntu 20.04):

this is the myapp/cron.py file as mentioned in the documentation cron.py

from .models import Cats

    def my_scheduled_job():
      Cats.objects.create(text='Testt')

and this is the settings i used frm the documentation

CRONJOBS = [
    ('*/1 * * * *', 'coins.cron.my_scheduled_job')
]
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django_crontab',
    ...
)

i keep getting this error

RuntimeError: No job with hash None found. It seems the crontab is out of sync with your settings.CRONJOBS. Run "python manage.py crontab add" again to resolve this issue!

even i tried to add python manage.py crontab add again and show and it appears python manage.py crontab add

removing cronjob: (crontab) -> ('*/1 * * * *', 'coins.cron.my_scheduled_job')
  adding cronjob: (75d02c7cc7be0475f399b3786aefe170) -> ('*/1 * * * *', 'coins.cron.my_scheduled_job')

python manage.py crontab show

crontab -> ('*/1 * * * *', 'coins.cron.my_scheduled_job')

its only work for one time if i run like this:

python manage.py crontab run 75d02c7cc7be0475f399b3786aefe170
Solution

  • It should already be added to your system crontab. Check it with crontab -l in the terminal.

    Edit: It seems because you have a space in your directory name, try to rename python projects to python-projects and rerun the add command.
