Laravel 5.8 cron job for php artisan schedul:run - php

Question

I added cron job this in my host:
* * * * * cd /home/mydomain/public_html/ && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
And kernel file:
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
file_put_contents(base_path('public/temp/test.txt'),'test_string');
}
But it doesn't create the file and when I added this in my cron job, It creates folders every minute.
* * * * * cd /home/mydomain/public_html/ && mkdir test_folder >> /dev/null 2>&1
And when I run this command in terminal php artisan schdule:run it creates the test.txt file.

Answer 1

Because you didn't call it by $schedule,
check this out: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/scheduling#defining-schedules
And your code need to be like this:
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->call(function () {
if (!file_exists(public_path('temp'))) {
mkdir(public_path('temp') , 0777);
}
file_put_contents(base_path('public/temp/tset.txt'),'test_string');
})->dailyAt('2:10');
}
If you use php artisan schedule:run it will automatically fire the events: "schedule:run source code"
And you don't have any events, it will display No scheduled commands are ready to run..
However, that file be created is because you overwrite the schedule function, it supports to be empty originally. schedule

Answer 2

wrap your function with $schedule
$schedule->call(function () {
file_put_contents(base_path('public/temp/tset.txt'),'test_string');
})->everyFiveMinutes();
Or Make command class and run through it
