Oban Pro DynamicCron configured at runtime doesn't seem to work

I moved my Oban config to run at runtime (from config.exs to runtime.exs) because I need to load different configurations depending on the release I’m generating.

After that move, I noticed that my cron jobs stopped running at all.

Here is my config:

defmodule Core.Config.Oban do
  @moduledoc false

  alias Core.Workers.{ProcessPropertyViewCountWorker, ExpireShortUrl}

  import Config

  def load!(:marketplace) do
    plugins =
      default_plugins() ++
        [
          {Oban.Pro.Plugins.DynamicCron,
           crontab: [
             {"@hourly", ProcessPropertyViewCountWorker, args: %{interval: "1h"}},
             {"@daily", ExpireShortUrl}
           ]}
        ]

    config :core, Oban,
      plugins: plugins,
      queues: [
        sms: 5,
        email: 10,
        process_images: 3,
        expire_short_url: 2,
        remove_images: 1,
        property_view: 1,
        property_over_under_paid: 10,
        hubspot_appointment: 1
      ]
  end

  def load!(:pacman) do
    config :core, Oban,
      plugins: default_plugins(),
      queues: [
        process_data: 1,
        process_raw_properties: 10,
        process_raw_records: 10
      ]
  end

  # Default to marketplace when running on local
  def load!(nil), do: load!(:marketplace)

  defp default_plugins do
    [
      {Oban.Pro.Plugins.DynamicLifeline, timeout: :infinity},
      {Oban.Pro.Plugins.DynamicPruner,
       state_overrides: [
         completed: {:max_len, 10_000},
         cancelled: {:max_age, :infinity},
         discarded: {:max_age, :infinity}
       ],
       timeout: :timer.hours(10)}
    ]
  end
end

as you can see, if release is :marketplace it will add DynamicCron to the config with some crontab jobs.

Here is what the DynamicCron.all/0 returns to me:

Ok, I found the issue, I had another node getting all the jobs running there. Removing that node fixed the issue

This is a common problem in hybrid setups where some nodes run jobs and others don’t. Common enough that there’s a section in the troubleshooting guide about it.

In short, there are two options:

  1. Run plugins on all nodes, even on the ones that aren’t executing jobs. Most plugins only run on a single leader node, and they add minimal load.
  2. Disable nodes that don’t run plugins with plugins: false or ensure it isn’t a possible leader with peer: false.
