cron jobs symlink is invalid/not updated on gear move
Last modified: 2015-05-14 18:56:13 EDT
Description of problem: The cron jobs directory is symlinked with a full path, when a gear is moved across districts, the uuid may change which results in the symlink being invalid. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an app and add the cron cartridge to the app. 2. Move the gear to another district. 3. Actual results: cron jobs are not executed. Expected results: cron jobs should run. Additional info: The best fix is to use relative sym links which ensures that the links would still be valid even after a gear moves across districts. Plus need to migrate any existing gears using cron on prod.
Fixed with git commits: 701b303247ec177d6f259c9ff4f79f1f0c6bbc34 and 6c8f6617535ca77af338fcbc3d856fbc1fd24e42 Updates to cron cartridge + migrate script.
