Invalid cron still returns array of schedules

[ghost]

Hi guys am curious is there anyway to validate and ensure cron supported by later js is valid before calling the parse.cron function

var later = require('later');
var cron = "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA";

var enableSeconds = true;
var schedule = later.parse.cron(cron, enableSeconds);
var futureSchedule = later.schedule(schedule).next(5);

console.log(futureSchedule);

Above seems to return a valid schedule of current time, which is not valid based on the passed in cron expression

The only way at the moment is to look and see if schedule.schedules is empty. If it's empty then nothing was parsed from the cron statement. There are other cron syntax checking libraries available that might fit your need.

Am not sure what you mean by schedule.schedules shouldnt be empty. it always returns non empty array
