Avoid an error after a one-time scheduled job

[jnkien]

When setting a scheduled job that occurs just one time, the function
was returning an error because next[1] is then undefined and .getTime()
is not defined. Adding a test to bypass this error.

@jnkien - thanks for your PR. The code you've changed comes from https://github.com/bunkat/later/blob/master/src/core/settimeout.js, unmodified except for adding the intendedAt parameter. I would prefer to leave the logic in here as is. Can you reproduce the issue in plain later.js? If not, could you please make the fix outside of SyncedCron._laterSetTimeout.

@zol - thank you for your feedback. I understand the fact that you want to keep the logic of included parts of code from later.js as you made it so far.

I investigate the possibility of a fix outside of SyncedCron._laterSetTimeout. Unfortunately, after doing some test and up to my knowledge, it cannot be done and I don't see how to do it because the error is inside a callback of a later.js function.

Then, I reproduced the issue in plain later.js as follows (still under a Meteor project):

Later = Meteor.npmRequire('later');
var schedule = function(parser) {
    var cronDate = '30 12 16 10 * 2014';// just change the first 4 parameters to trigger the job asap
    return parser.cron(cronDate);
};
var s = schedule(Later.parse);
Later.setInterval(function(){
    console.log("This is a one time scheduled job.");
    return true;
}, s);
console.log('One time scheduled job @' + Later.schedule(s).next(1));

I think I can simply use my own fork in my project (it will work but...) or submit a pull request to the later.jsgithub repository. Then afterwards, you could modified your code and recompile the meteor package?

What do you suggest?

Hey @jnkien . Your cron format looks incorrect there, see here. You have 6 entries in the format and don't specify hasSeconds.

In any case, please submit your pull request to the later.js repo and I will update to use the new dependency once the author fixes the issue. Thanks!

Huh. Didn't see you pull request, @jnkien. You might take a look at my pull requests here, I think we've set out to achieve the same thing:
