How to use test_auto_repeat.py? (how to test auto-repeat sooner than daily?)

We really need to be able to test auto-repeats at a frequency sooner than “Daily”.

I noticed this test_auto_repeat.py file in the code base:

frappe/frappe/blob/develop/frappe/automation/doctype/auto_repeat/test_auto_repeat.py

# Copyright (c) 2018, Frappe Technologies and Contributors

import frappe
from frappe.automation.doctype.auto_repeat.auto_repeat import (
	create_repeated_entries,
	get_auto_repeat_entries,
	week_map,
)
from frappe.custom.doctype.custom_field.custom_field import create_custom_field
from frappe.tests.utils import FrappeTestCase
from frappe.utils import add_days, add_months, getdate, today


def add_custom_fields():
	df = dict(
		fieldname="auto_repeat",
		label="Auto Repeat",
		fieldtype="Link",
		insert_after="sender",
		options="Auto Repeat",

This file has been truncated. show original

Can this be used to call an auto_repeat on demand from command line?

How to use it?

oh… maybe it’s just for unit testing? Not actually testing a specifc auto-repeat on demand.
