Google app engine cron returning 404 for node js

Question

I am trying to run a cron in google app engine which should run a node.js script every 2 minute but i always get 404 error in the log. I see the cron is running every 2 minute but its not finding the script cronRun.js . Below is the relevant part of the code.

cron.yaml

cron:
- description: "daily summary job"
  url: /task
  schedule: every 2 minutes

app.yaml

runtime: nodejs
env: flex
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

handlers:
- url: /task
  script: cronRun.js

log:

"GET /task" 404

By this I see that I am not defining the path correctly.

Below is the file structure

Answer 1

Have you tried making a request to the /task endpoint directly, without going through the Cron job?

The problem may be related to the application itself and not the Cron job, so I would recommend you to test it by accessing your App Engine application with the /task endpoint.

If it does not work, the issue is definitely caused by the application and not Cron.
