@Elyx0 I think we maybe misled with how we represented https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/pull/2011

It lets those functions be loaded into the emulator but doesn't actually trigger them on a schedule. Instead you'd have to manually trigger them using a Pub/Sub message.

This was mostly meant for use within functions:shell but I can definitely see how this is confusing and we need to clarify it.

Thanks for clarifying @samtstern I'll wrap them in a setInterval in the global scope if it detects the emulator
