I've been running the examples that come with Quartz.Net and I noticed that the scheduler still runs jobs even if the Windows service is stopped! So what is it there for?

Also, I ran this code in a unit test...

        ISchedulerFactory schedFact = new StdSchedulerFactory();

        // get a scheduler
        IScheduler sched = schedFact.GetScheduler();
        sched.Start();

        // construct job info
        JobDetail jobDetail = new JobDetail("myJob", null, typeof (MyJob));

        Trigger trigger = TriggerUtils.MakeMinutelyTrigger(1);

        trigger.StartTimeUtc = DateTime.UtcNow;

        trigger.Name = "myTrigger";

        sched.ScheduleJob(jobDetail, trigger);

The test completed but a breakpoint in the job didn't ever fire. What process do I need to attach to in order to debug a job?

What am I missing here? Is the StdSchedulerFactory not connected to the Windows Service?

Cheers, Ian.

EDIT:

Here is the code...

NameValueCollection properties = new NameValueCollection();
        properties["quartz.scheduler.instanceName"] = "RemoteClient";

        // set thread pool info            
        properties["quartz.threadPool.type"] = "Quartz.Simpl.SimpleThreadPool, Quartz";
        properties["quartz.threadPool.threadCount"] = "5";
        properties["quartz.threadPool.threadPriority"] = "Normal";

        // set remoting expoter
        properties["quartz.scheduler.proxy"] = "true";
        properties["quartz.scheduler.proxy.address"] = "tcp://localhost:555/QuartzScheduler";

        // First we must get a reference to a scheduler

        ISchedulerFactory sf = new StdSchedulerFactory(properties);
        IScheduler sched = sf.GetScheduler();

        //sched.Start();

        // define the job and ask it to run
        JobDetail job = new JobDetail("remotelyAddedJob", "default", typeof(SimpleJob));
        JobDataMap map = new JobDataMap();
        map.Put("msg", "Your remotely added job has executed!");
        job.JobDataMap = map;
        CronTrigger trigger = new CronTrigger("remotelyAddedTrigger", "default", "remotelyAddedJob", "default", DateTime.UtcNow, null, "/5 * * ? * *");

        // schedule the job
        sched.ScheduleJob(job, trigger);

'SimpleJob' is just an implementation of IJob that's defined in the same assembly as the above code. And yes, it can't find the dll that the job type is defined in.

  • Which example is it? Also, quartz.net jobs run in a separate thread, you can't expect it to "pause" the test until the job runs and finishes... – Mauricio Scheffer Nov 21 '11 at 13:50
  • Example 1. I didn't want it to pause. I *want* my unit test to return and then the job to be triggered by the service. – Ian Warburton Nov 21 '11 at 14:02
  • If you want the test to drive the service, you should connect it to the service (see for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1488277/remotely-connect-to-quartz-scheduler ). It seems that the test is just spinning up a new scheduler and running jobs within the test... – Mauricio Scheffer Nov 21 '11 at 14:11
  • Doesn't that example connect to a remote machine as opposed to the Windows Service? – Ian Warburton Nov 21 '11 at 14:26
  • Oh wow... I got it to connect with answer 1's code... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1356789/quartz-net-with-asp-net It very cooly throws an exception if the service isn't started. But when the service is running and I schedule a job it throws a FileNotFound exception. Any ideas? – Ian Warburton Nov 21 '11 at 14:41
  • please post the entire test code and the entire stack traces. – Mauricio Scheffer Nov 21 '11 at 14:49
  • I don't get this exception with the NoOpJob so is it looking for the dll containing the custom type of scheduled job? If so, how do I point it to the dll? – Ian Warburton Nov 21 '11 at 14:53
