Node.js setTimeout not fired after system time change

By Hường Hana 7:00 AM , , Leave a Comment

I have such script 

setTimeout(function()  {     console.log("Timeout"); }, 1000 * 60);

When I run it and change system time back for one hour, the timeout not fires. If I change time forward for one hour, timeout works correctly.

Time is changed by external program which makes call like ioctl( rtcFd, RTC_SET_TIME, &newTime);

How to fix this problem?

We use Node.js v0.10.15 on OpenWRT Attitude Adjustment

Thank you

I just founded that this is a bug fixed in newer version. It fixed by this commit in v0.10.33.

If you meet this problem, you need to update or patch your node.js

Use node scheduler this is for time-based scheduling

npm install node-schedule

var jobId="123456abc"; schedule.scheduleJob(jobId, new Date(1), function()  {                                                                                                                   schedule.cancelJob(jobId);     // your code here. });
