How to deploy a webjob through CI in VSO with vNex

Question

I'm trying to deploy a scheduled webjob through CI and vNext tasks in VSO.

I followed the steps in the following tutorial to deploy a webjob along with a web app ("Enable automatic deployment with a web project"): https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/websites-dotnet-deploy-webjobs/

I succeeded partially: the webjob gets deployed along with the web application. However, it is marked as On Demand instead of Scheduled (or whatever the proper status is). I can run the webjob manually and it runs just fine. I checked the files webjob-publish-settings.json (in the webjob) and webjobs-list.json (in the web app) and they seem to be alright, judging from the tutorial.

Am I missing anything? Thank you.

You can use the cron expression to create the webjob scheduler if your app is running in Basic or High mode. Refer to this link for details: Create a scheduled WebJob using a CRON expression

Otherwise, you need to enable continues delivery of Azure Webjobs.
