Is there any way I can get the time when the Cloud Task is scheduled to run using its task name?
I'm creating a task in a function using:
const task = {
httpRequest: {
httpMethod: 'POST',
url,
body: Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(payload)).toString('base64'),
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
},
scheduleTime: {
seconds: 86400
}
}
const [response] = await tasksClient.createTask({ parent: queuePath, task })
return response.name;
It gives me a task name that looks like:
projects/.../queues/foo/tasks/987555410648792221
How can I get the time when this task will run at (epoch time) using the above task name?
The response
is of type ITask that has a scheduleTime
property. Try:
console.log(`Task will trigger at ${response.scheduleTime?.seconds}`)
However, this is not necessary as you are supposed to pass the task trigger time as follows:
const task = {
scheduleTime: {
seconds: Date.now() + 86400 // Time at which task should trigger
}
}
Just passing 86400
will run the tasks immediately.
If you know the task name, then you can use getTask()
to fetch task information and read schedule time:
const [task] = await tasks.getTask({
name: response.name, // <-- task name
});
console.log(`Task schedule time: ${task.scheduleTime?.seconds}`);
