Hi,

I'm creating a pool of tasks which can be run or not (depending on the weather).
I would like to skip a particular run of a job without lost history of previous run.

I was thinking to do it like that.

def func():
  # this time, the job should not be done,
  # but must stay in the schedule queue for next time
  # This must keep last_time property unchanged,
  # and update next_time property
  if something():
    return schedule.SkipJob

  # normal running
  do_something_else()

schedule.every().day.do(func)

What do you think?

Cheers,
@WoLfulus

I'd prefer some kind of .validate(check_wether) on job definition. Which avoids putting the check inside the job itself.

I think you are right. But in order to respect the way of implementation (CancelJob), I did it like that.

Don't know what the maintainer think about it.

I like this idea! To summarize: A job that returns schedule.SkipJob should not be rescheduled. So last_run should not be update and _schedule_next_run should not be called.

We can implement this in the Job.run() method, right about here:

schedule/schedule/__init__.py

Lines 661 to 663 in 0bab53e

ret = self.job_func()
self.last_run = datetime.datetime.now()
self._schedule_next_run()

Anyone willing to implement this and create a pr?

EDIT: Well well well, it turns out an pr is already open! See #320
