defmodule PluralsightTweet.Scheduler do
def schedule_file(schedule, file) do
Quantum.add_job(schedule, fn -> IO.puts PluralsightTweet.FileReader.get_strings_to_tweet(file) end)
end
end
this is the error am getting:
Quantum.add_job(“* * * * * * “, fn-> IO.puts “test” end)
** (UndefinedFunctionError) function Quantum.add_job/2 is undefined or private

That’s not how you must use Quantum, follow their documentation on: https://hexdocs.pm/quantum/readme.htm
More details:
Quantum.add_job/2is not a function, maybe what you mean isQuantum.Scheduler.add_job/2Quantum.Scheduler.add_job/2is not a function also, and yes a callback that should be defined by the modules that use@behaviour Quantum.SchedulerMy impression is that you may be confusing what the lib quantum really is. It’s not a job scheduler like, for example,
sidekiq, what it does is something like what the command line toolcrondoes, scheduling recurrent executions.kelvinst
By scheduling you mean running it once in the future or recurrently?
