Laravel Scheduling call controller - php

Question

I work with Laravel Task Scheduling, but I have a problem when I call some method from my controller.
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->call('UserController#deleteInactiveUsers')->everyMinute();
//$schedule->call('App\Http\Controllers\UserController#deleteInactiveUsers')->everyMinute();
}
When I call with uncommented line i get this error:
[ReflectionException]
Class RecurrenceInvoiceController does not exist
and then I insert fully qualified namespace path and then I get this error:
[PDOException] SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
And
[ErrorException] PDO::__construct(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
Where is the problem? Which way is correct to call method from Controller from Laravel Task Scheduling.

Answer 1

I stumbled months ago with the same problem, until I could fix it.
I use laravel 5.2 and the kernel call my drivers this way:
$schedule->call('App\Http\Controllers\MyController#MyAction')->everyMinute();
I hope this will help someone else ;)

Answer 2

Directly put this in schedule function in kernel.php.
$schedule->call('App\Http\Controllers\YourController#function')->everyMinute();
This will run after every minute.
Note:
In localhost, you have to run it manually but on the server, you should try this command in your cronjob this will automatically call your controller function after every minute
php -d register_argc_argv=On /home/iflasity/public_html/foldername /artisan schedule:run > /dev/null 2>&1
cd /home/iflasity/public_html/foldername && php artisan schedule:run /dev/null 2>&1

For me, the first error looks like you need to run composer update, then composer dump-autoload.
If it works you will also get the second error, the 2002 error meaning is:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket" (see (Client Error Codes and Messages in MySQL docs).
You need to set your database configuration in your .env file

OK. I solved this problem. The problem was with Docker Cron container. Cron container was not linked with MySQL container.
Thanks for all answers.

Also now I test with more simple function to insert new currency in database. Here is code:
public function handle()
{
$currency = new Currency();
$currency->currency_name = 'EUR';
$currency->save();
$this->info('New currency is successfully generated!');
}
This function is from laravel/app/Console/Commands. I call from Kernel > schedule(). Not work.
When I insert simple log write to handle() function like:
File::put(base_path() . '/storage/logs/test_logs.txt', 'Test log ' . Carbon::now()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . PHP_EOL);
this works. But when I try to create new object from Models and save into db -> this not work.
