How to override specific methods in Laravel core classes? - php

Question

To be even more specific and provide the most basic example of one of the methods that I would like to override is the ScheduleRunCommand::handle() method.
(Specifically, would like to change the messaging for when nothing is ready to run to include a timestamp in the string.)
ScheduleRunCommand.php
public function handle(Schedule $schedule, Dispatcher $dispatcher, ExceptionHandler $handler)
{
$this->schedule = $schedule;
$this->dispatcher = $dispatcher;
$this->handler = $handler;
foreach ($this->schedule->dueEvents($this->laravel) as $event) {
if (! $event->filtersPass($this->laravel)) {
$this->dispatcher->dispatch(new ScheduledTaskSkipped($event));
continue;
}
if ($event->onOneServer) {
$this->runSingleServerEvent($event);
} else {
$this->runEvent($event);
}
$this->eventsRan = true;
}
if (! $this->eventsRan) {
$this->info('No scheduled commands are ready to run.');
}
}
Just to be clear, I do not want to edit this core file directly, just extend, specifically overriding that method with an updated message for when no events ran.

You have to create a new command that extends ScheduleRunCommand.
There, you extend the base command and you do whatever you want.
This command with automatically override the original command.
<?php namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Debug\ExceptionHandler;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher;
class ScheduleRunCommand extends \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\ScheduleRunCommand
{
public function handle(Schedule $schedule, Dispatcher $dispatcher, ExceptionHandler $handler)
{
dd("test");
parent::handle($schedule, $dispatcher, $handler);
}
}
If you did all this correctly, running php artisan schedule:run will execute the handle function of your new class:
test#project:~/code$ php artisan schedule:run
"test"
To specifically answer your question, since you can't only override No scheduled commands are ready to run., you must copy / paste the entire handle function and modify the message directly:
<?php namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Debug\ExceptionHandler;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher;
class ScheduleRunCommand extends \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\ScheduleRunCommand
{
public function handle(Schedule $schedule, Dispatcher $dispatcher, ExceptionHandler $handler)
{
$this->schedule = $schedule;
$this->dispatcher = $dispatcher;
$this->handler = $handler;
foreach ($this->schedule->dueEvents($this->laravel) as $event) {
if (! $event->filtersPass($this->laravel)) {
$this->dispatcher->dispatch(new ScheduledTaskSkipped($event));
continue;
}
if ($event->onOneServer) {
$this->runSingleServerEvent($event);
} else {
$this->runEvent($event);
}
$this->eventsRan = true;
}
if (! $this->eventsRan) {
$this->info('[.'.date('Y-m-d H:i:s').'] No scheduled commands are ready to run.');
}
}
}
