Dispatching a Laravel job in scheduler, pre-5.5 - php

I'm used to Laravel 5.5+ where you can call $schedule->job(new ExampleJob); to fire jobs, which is not available in 5.4. I'm attempting to do something like this:
$schedule->call(function () {
dispatch(new AppointmentReminder);
})->dailyAt('08:00');
but the job is not firing. I've verified that this is being called at the correct time. I'm guessing the dispatch() method is not available in App\Console\Kernal.php? Does anyone know of the official way of dispatching jobs in 5.4's scheduler? This is a legacy code base and all of the jobs are inline in the Kernal.php which is a total mess. Not to mention this is a rather involved job.
I did try use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\DispatchesJobs;/use DispatchesJobs; and then $this->dispatch(new AppointmentReminder()); in Kernal.php, but that did not seem to do the trick either. Also, (new AppointmentReminder())->dispatch(); does not work. Thanks!

You can create a new console command:
php artisan make:command CommandName
add it to App\Console\Kernal.php:
protected $commands = [
Commands\CommandName::class,
];
and make you schedual call it:
$schedule->command('CommandName')->dailyAt('08:00');
and inside your command in the "handle" function, dispatch the job.

Accessing SQS job data (receipt handle) from a Laravel queued console command

I'm adding functionality to a pre-existing app, using Laravel 5.8.38 and the SQS queue driver.
I'm looking for a way to log the receipt handle of queue messages as they're processed, so that we can manually delete messages from the queue for jobs that have gone horribly wrong (without the receipt ID, we'd have to wait for the visibility timeout to be reached).
I'm not super familiar with Laravel and am trying to figure things out as I go. We have two types of queued jobs:
a custom class implementing Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue, that also uses the Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue, Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable and Illuminate\Bus\Queueable traits (our class gets queued directly)
a custom command, extending Illuminate\Console\Command, that runs via Illuminate\Foundation\Console\QueuedCommand
For the custom class, browsing through the source for InteractsWithQueue and Illuminate/Queue/Jobs/SqsJob I discovered I could access the receipt handle directly:
$sqsJob = $this->job->getSqsJob();
\Log::info("Processing SQS job {$sqsJob["MessageId"]} with handle {$sqsJob["ReceiptHandle"]}");
This works great! However, I can't figure out how to do a similar thing from the console command.
Laravel's QueuedCommand implements ShouldQueue as well as Illuminate\Bus\Queueable, so my current guess is that I'll need to extend this, use InteractsWithQueue, and retrieve and log the receipt handle from there. However if I do that, I can't figure out how I would modify Artisan::queue('app:command', $commandOptions); to queue my custom QueuedCommand class instead.
Am I almost there? If so, how can I queue my custom QueuedCommand class instead of the Laravel one? Or, is there a better way to do this?
Ok I had just posted this question and then realised a suggestion a colleague offered provided a way forward.
So, here's my solution in case it helps anyone else!
Laravel fires a Illuminate\Queue\Events\JobProcessing event when processing any new queue job. I just needed to register a listener in app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php:
protected $listen = [
'Illuminate\Queue\Events\JobProcessing' => [
'App\Listeners\LogSQSJobDetails',
],
];
and then provide the listener to handle it:
namespace App\Listeners;
use Illuminate\Queue\Events\JobProcessing;
class LogSQSJobDetails
{
public function __construct()
{
}
public function handle(JobProcessing $event)
{
$sqsJob = $this->job->getSqsJob();
\Log::info("Processing SQS job {$sqsJob["MessageId"]} with handle {$sqsJob["ReceiptHandle"]}");
}
}
This works great - and means I can also now remove the addition to my custom class from earlier.

Laravel - queue job finished - how to use Queue::after?

I would like to modify a session variable when my queue job has finished. I found in laravel documentation, that Queue::after is created for my issue, but I can not find out how to use it.
I start the job from a controller: VideoController.php
$job = (new VideoConvertJob($newFileName))->delay(Carbon::now()->addSeconds(5)); dispatch($job);
There are some code in the job (VideoConvertJob.php) handle method:
public function handle() { ... }
But I do not know, where and how should I imlement the Queue::after method, to know that job has finished succesfully and update my session.

Laravel Mock should be called at least once but called 0 times

I have an artisan command that fires a job called PasswordResetJob which iterates as it calls a method forcePasswordReset in a repository class OrgRepository, the method updates a user's table. The whole process works fine.
Now I'm trying to write a Laravel test to mock the OrgRepository class and assert that the forcePasswordReset method is called at least once, which should be the case, based on the conditions I provided to the test. In the test, I call the artisan command to fire job; (I'm using sync queue for testing) this works fine as the job gets called and the user's table gets updated as I can view my database updates directly.
However, the test fails with the error: Mockery\Exception\InvalidCountException : Method forcePasswordReset() from Mockery_2_Repositories_OrgRepository should be called
at least 1 times but called 0 times.
The artisan call within the test is:
Artisan::call('shisiah:implement-org-password-reset');
I have tried to make the artisan call before, as well as after this mock initialization, but I still get the same errors. Here is the mock initialization within the test
$this->spy(OrgRepository::class, function ($mock) {
$mock->shouldHaveReceived('forcePasswordReset');
});
What am I missing? I have gone through the documentation and searched through Google for hours. Please let me know if you need any additional information to help. I'm using Laravel version 6.0
edit
I pass the OrgRepository class into the handle method of the job class, like this:
public function handle(OrgRepository $repository)
{
//get orgs
$orgs = Org::where('status', true)->get();
foreach ($orgs as $org){
$repository->forcePasswordReset($org);
}
}
The problem is that you are initializing your spy after your job has already run, which means during the job it will use the real class instead of the spy.
You have to do something like this in your test:
$spy = $this->spy(OrgRepository::class);
// run your job
$spy->shouldHaveReceived('forcePasswordReset');
We tell laravel to use the spy instead of the repository, run the job and then assert that the method was called.
Jeffrey Way explains it pretty well in this screencast.

Why Laravel keeps calling schedule() with every Artisan Command?

I have one table called dc_user_meta and I've created one artisan command and scheduled it in kernel.php. Just after cloning the repository, when I try to run PHP artisan migrate, I get this error.
[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'database.dc_user_meta' doesn't exist (SQL: select * from `dc_user_met
a` where `meta_key` = usage_in_days)
Not only php artisan migrate but I am unable to run any artisan command at all! I don't know why PHP keeps calling schedule method every time I try to execute any artisan command.
Here in this case, What I can do to solve this error is put the cover over my logic in schedule method just like this.
if(Schema::hasTable('dc_user_meta')){
// Code here
}
But I don't think it's good in Long run. What's the right way to solve this error?
UPDATE:
I just tried covering call to command in kernel.php just like this but still no success!
if(Schema::hasTable('dc_user_meta')){
$schedule->command('usage:update')->daily();
}
UPDATE:
I got the solution. But I don't think it's the answer to the question. It solves my problem but I don't think it's standard Solution. I just covered by Command login just like this.
if(Schema::hasTable('dc_user_meta')){
// Command Logic
}
Any specific answer to why Laravel calls schedule() with every artisan command and how to solve the error in a standard way if something like this happens!
Technically the schedule method ist called via the constructor of Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel ( This is the parent class of app\Console\Kernel.php)
So every time the console Kernel is instantiated, the schedule() method gets executed.
Let's see what gets executed in which scenario ( $schedule->call() can be replaced with $schedule->command() or $schedule->exec()):
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
// everything that is inside the schedule function is executed everytime the console kernel is booted.
// gets exectuted every time
\App\User::where('foo', 1)->get();
$schedule->call(function() {
// gets executed for every call to php artisan schedule:run
\App\User::where('foo', 1)->get();
});
$schedule->call(function() {
// gets executed for every call to php artisan schedule:run
// IF the closure in the when() function is true;
\App\User::where('foo', 1)->get();
})->when(function() {
// if true is returned the scheduled command or closure is executed otherwise it is skipped
\Schema::hasColumn('user', 'foo');
});
}
But why HAS the schedule command to be exectuted with every command?
Well, obviously php artisan schedule:run is a console command itself. So it definitely needs information about scheduled commands.
Also other commands could need information about scheduled commands... For example if you want to write an artisan command list:scheduledTasks. This command would require that all scheduled commands have been added to the console schedule list.
Maybe there are several other (internal) arguments why the schedule function has to run everytime. ( I did not dig too deep in the source code... )
Nevertheless... information about scheduled commands could be useful to a variety of use cases.
Your error is with table dc_user_meta while your logic is of table user_meta you need to do Schema::hasTable('dc_user_meta')
I'm convinced that table dc_user_meta doesn't exist in database.
As I understand, yor have table "user_meta" not "dc_user_meta" but you have written the code to use table "dc_user_meta" hence there is an error saying "dc_user_meta" table not found.
If anyone still cares about this...
<?php
# This is your app/Console/Kernel.php
use ...;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel {
# Other stuff...
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule) {
if( in_array('schedule:run', $_SERVER['argv']) ){
# Your scheduler commands here...
}
}
}

Laravel Use different queue connection to dispatch Jobs

I am using laravel 5.1 and i am using the dispatch method to push the job onto the queue.
But there are two kind of jobs and i have created and two queues for that in sqs.
How should i achieve this?
In order to specify the queue you need to call onQueue() method on your job object, e.g.:
$job = (new SendReminderEmail($user))->onQueue('emails');
$this->dispatch($job);
If you want to send the job to a connection other than default, you need to do fetch connection manually and send the job there:
$connection = Queue::connection('connection_name');
$connection->pushOn('queue_name', $job)
This worked for me.
//code to be used in the controller (taken from #jedrzej.kurylo above)
$job = (new SendReminderEmail($user))->onQueue('emails');
$this->dispatch($job);
I think this dispatches the job on to the queue named "emails".
To execute the job dispatched on 'emails' queue:
//Run this command in a new terminal window
php artisan queue:listen --queue=emails
I'd suggest this:
app('queue')->connection('connection_name')->pushOn('queue_name', $job);
