Question: How to specify multiple days with different start/stop times

[gaigaslab]

We would like to have a concourse step trigger anytime spanning multiple days of week. I imagine that this is a use-case that has been addressed, but I can't figure out how to do it. I can successfully push a pipeline with the following definition, but I get a 'checking failed' error on the Schedule resource:

This should trigger as true every 10 minutes between Friday at 10pm and Saturday at 6am.

resources:
- name: schedule
  type: time
  source:
    days:
    - Friday:
      start: 10:00 PM
      stop: 11:59 PM
    - Saturday:
      start: 12:00 AM
      stop: 06:00 AM
    interval: 10m
    location: America/New_York

Assuming that you can't shift your timezone location so that it neatly lines up with your needs, you could you blend two different resources to trigger your job.

resources:
- name: friday_night
  type: time
  source:
    days:
    - Friday
    start: 10:00 PM
    stop: 11:59 PM
    interval: 10m
- name: saturday_morning
  type: time
  source:
    days:
    - Saturday:
    start: 12:00 AM
    stop: 06:00 AM
    interval: 10m
    location: America/New_York

jobs:
- name: the_job_we_want_to_trigger
  plan:
  - in_parallel:
    - get: friday_night
      trigger: true
    - get: saturday_morning
      trigger: true
  - task: something
    config: # ...

You may run in to an issue akin to #24 at first, but once you get in to a steady-state flow, I think this will work.

Hello,

Based on that, is there a way to use this time resource to trigger a job each month on a specific date ? For example, each 15th day of the month ?

@alphaxr6 - it’s been a while since I cracked open this code. But on initial glance, I’m not seeing support for specifying the day of the month (just day of week and interval). So, I think the closest you could get would be to specify a 30-ish day interval.
