[FIXED] How to setup cron dynamically via admin in Magento 2

Issue

How can I setup cron dynamically in config.xml (custom module) in Magento 2?

Solution

Magento2 has a different scheme to merge layout config so you have to create a new file that called crontab.xml under your_custom_module/etc folder. And then you can add your cron config like this one:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Cron:etc/crontab.xsd">
    <group id="default">
        <job name="custom_cronjob" instance="YourVenDoerName\CustomModule\Cron\Test" method="execute">
            <schedule>* * * * *</schedule>
        </job>
    </group>
</config>
