How to load another Console/Kernel.php in Laravel project? - php

Question

I have a running Laravel application which has the default Console/Kernel.php where all my scheduled commands are defined as usual.
But now I have another Laravel application that I am trying to merge with this existing application, and I have created a folder inside the existing Laravel application and I am using a Service Provider to load all the things. This way I can keep the code of the two projects separate but at the same time all features under the same repository.
<?php
namespace SecondApp;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class SecondAppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Register services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function register()
{
include __DIR__ . '/routes/web.php';
include __DIR__ . '/routes/api.php';
$this->app->register('SecondApp\App\Providers\AppServiceProvider');
$this->app->register('SecondApp\App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider');
$this->app->register('SecondApp\App\Providers\BroadcastServiceProvider');
$this->app->register('SecondApp\App\Providers\EventServiceProvider');
$this->app->register('SecondApp\App\Providers\JobServiceProvider');
$this->app->register('SecondApp\App\Providers\MailerServiceProvider');
$this->app->register('SecondApp\App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider');
$this->app->register('SecondApp\App\Providers\StorageServiceProvider');
}
/**
* Bootstrap services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
$this->loadMigrationsFrom(__DIR__ . '/database/migrations/');
$this->publishes([
__DIR__ . '/config/' => config_path()
], 'second-app-config');
$this->publishes([
__DIR__ . '/resources/' => base_path('resources')
], 'second-app-resources');
}
}
This is what my service somewhat looks like. Everything else seems to work well, roues, migrations, registering service providers and so on, but this second project now also has Console/Kernel.php file. And those commands are not being called yet, obviously because laravel doesn't know about it. So I am wondering how can I tell Laravel to look at that as well? Is this possible, or will I have merge the code into one main Kernel.php?
I have the same question about Http/Kernel.php as well, but I am sure if someone can suggest how to make one work, I can make the other work as well.

Answer 1

To load commands, need to add them like this in the register method of service provider
$this->commands([
App\Console\Commands\CommandOne::class,
App\Console\Commands\CommandTwo::class,
]);
and so on, keep adding commands to the array.
And to schedule these commands refer to this answer -> How to schedule Artisan commands in a package?
So add something like this to the boot method of your service provider:
$this->callAfterResolving(Schedule::class, function (Schedule $schedule) {
$schedule->command('some:command')->everyMinute();
});
