Question

I have created a scheduler class called scheduledInsert. The scheduler Job for this class is registered with following code

public class TestInsertTaskScheduler
{
  public static testMethod void testInsertTaskScheduler()
  {
     scheduledInsert i = new scheduledInsert();
     Datetime now = Datetime.now();
     System.debug ('Datetime'+now);
     String sch = '0 1 * * * ?';  // scheduled to execute every minute
     system.schedule('Insert Task S3', sch, i);
     System.debug ('After schedule');
   }
}

The scheduled class code is

global class scheduledInsert implements Schedulable 
{
  global void execute(SchedulableContext SC)
  {
    System.debug('scheduled insert'); 
  }
}

This job (Insert Task S3) does not display under Monitoring scheduled Jobs.

Also the Job does not execute at all.

What’s the mistake i am making?

I’m fairly sure it’s because you’re using a testmethod. When you use a testmethod nothing is committed to the Salesforce database; so, it would make sense that the job doesn’t appear in the Scheduled Jobs section. Try removing the testmethod keyword, run it again, and see if it appears.
