Disable scheduled functions

[wasenbr]

Please, could you create a option to disable the scheduled functions.

It could be a command line option like

--disableScheduledFunctions

It's is importante because I have some funcions that manipulate data and I don't want to run it every momment on dev time.

Today, I have 2 yml files to control it:

• one with all my function enabled
• another with all the scheduled funcions disabled

With this new options, this process could my simpler.

We faced the same issue.
As a workaround, we use the IS_OFFLINE env var to interrupt the scheduled functions.

exports.handler = () => {
 if (process.env.IS_OFFLINE) return;
...
}

In order to avoid modifying function source, I'd also appreciate a way to disable scheduled functions from running for serverless-offline.

There is another workaround that doesn't require code

You can toggle the enable param on the event definition using an environment variable.

ie:

events:
  - schedule:
      enabled: ${strToBool(${env:ENABLE_SCHEDULER, "false"})}

That will disable the scheduler unless ENABLE_SCHEDULER is present and set to true. The only caveat is you need to opt in in production...
