Running Magento cron does not reindex indexer

[OgreMHDW]

I am very confused about a new experience in Magento 2. I have set up the Magento cron job to run every 1 minute using the command "magento cron:run". After the command is run by cron it does return "Ran jobs by schedule." After adding several products the indexer is not running to add those products to the site.

Per the page http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/config-guide/cli/config-cli-subcommands-cron.html it states "The first command (magento cron:run) reindexes indexers" but that is not happening.

I am able to run the command, from http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/config-guide/cli/config-cli-subcommands-index.html, magento indexer:reindex to have the products indexed and added to the store.

Is this a bug or is should I be setting up an additional cron job just to index the site?

Hi,

Do you still experience the issue?

If yes, could you

• verify the indexers statuses after the cron job is run twice:

php bin/magento indexer:status

• check jobs statuses in cron_schedule table
• check error logs

Thanks,
Kateryna

@OgreMHDW i close the ticket for now because you didn't answered @katmoon . If you have still the problem please reopen the issue.

I am finding the same problem. If you add a new product it does not show. If you run cron by SSH it's supposed to reindex data when it is set to update on schedule and make the product show. It's only when you reindex by SSH the product will show.

Still not working on 2.0.2. The cron job runs without error but the Catalog Rule Product never rebuilds. Manually running indexer:reindex solves the problem.

Please note that You must run cron twice: the first time to discover tasks to run and the second time to run the tasks themselves.

I could not reproduce the issue with catalog rules on the freshest Magento version available on GitHub today.

Could you check jobs statuses in cron_schedule table and let me know if there's any error, please?

Running cron by SSH twice works and reindexes data.
I have setup cron to run every 1 minute in cPanel which seems to be working as sales emails are being sent.
However, this does not reindex data and new products do not appear?

This is a bug. To fix it, we must understand when it happens.
An error message could help. It can be in php error_log, in Magento logs or in cron_schedule table.
