Not able to get cron jobs working (won't show up in dashboard)

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but the Cron dashboard isn't showing any of my cron jobs. I set up a fairly simple convex/cron.ts file following this format:

import { cronJobs } from "convex/server";
import { internal } from "./_generated/api";

const crons = cronJobs();

crons.hourly(
  "fill missing book genres @ 0",
  { minuteUTC: 0 },
  internal.myFunctions.fillMissingBookGenres
);

export default crons;

import { cronJobs } from "convex/server";
import { internal } from "./_generated/api";

const crons = cronJobs();

crons.hourly(
  "fill missing book genres @ 0",
  { minuteUTC: 0 },
  internal.myFunctions.fillMissingBookGenres
);

export default crons;

However, my dashboard still has this (aka no cron jobs). Would love help!

@eric sorry to hear this. do you see the rest of your functions all listed there, like fillMissingBookGenres ? (in the dashboard) and what's the output of npx convex dev ... no error messages when you modify this cron.ts file and it tries to resync? @eric oh! I might have the answer this file needs to be called crons.ts, plural. not cron.ts
