Scheduled function not working

Support

Hello!

My website is https://sunny-mousse-bc9ae9.netlify.app

I’m trying to do some scheduled functions following this tutorial Scheduled Functions | Netlify Docs

It actually works but not doing POST requests to a Discord webhook (this here is mentioned on the tutorial that I follow). So as the tutorial says, I should use either a synchronous or background function instead, but I think they won’t do it with a schedule, or if it does, how?

This are my codes:

import { schedule } from "@netlify/functions";

import { Webhook } from 'discord-webhook-node';
const hook = new Webhook("https://discord.com/api/webhooks/mywebhookid");

console.log("init")
const handler = async function(event, context) {
    hook.send("Prueba de la conexión. <@286402429258301440>")
    console.log("hola")
    return {
        statusCode: 200,
        body: "Hello"
    }
}

exports.handler = schedule("* * * */1 *", handler)

It does the schedule, it manages to do the console.log(“hola”) but not the hook.send. This gives an error saying Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established

I also tried this:

import { Webhook } from 'discord-webhook-node';
const hook = new Webhook("https://discord.com/api/webhooks/mywebhookid");



import type { Handler, HandlerEvent, HandlerContext } from "@netlify/functions";
import { schedule } from "@netlify/functions";

const myHandler: Handler = async (event: HandlerEvent, context: HandlerContext) => {
  console.log("Received event:", event);
  hook.send("Prueba de la conexión v2. <@286402429258301440>")

    return {
        statusCode: 200,
    };
};

const handler = schedule("*/1 * * * *", myHandler)

export { handler };

This code gives me reason: socket hang up error.

Thanks for your time.

Webhook.send is an async method: discord-webhook-node/webhook.js at master · matthew1232/discord-webhook-node · GitHub, you would need async statement like:

await hook.send("Prueba de la conexión v2. <@286402429258301440>")

The module’s documentation seems incorrect.

Seems it’s the solution.

Copied the code in the documentation and added the hook.send. Appears it’s working perfectly now.

Code in case someone wants to take a look:

import type { Handler, HandlerEvent, HandlerContext } from "@netlify/functions";
import { schedule } from "@netlify/functions";

import { Webhook } from 'discord-webhook-node';
const hook = new Webhook("https://discord.com/api/webhooks/mywebhookid");

const myHandler: Handler = async (event: HandlerEvent, context: HandlerContext) => {
  console.log("1 minuto");
  await hook.send("Prueba de la conexión. <@286402429258301440>")

  return {
    statusCode: 200,
  };
};

const handler = schedule("*/1 * * * *", myHandler)

export { handler };
