Laravel Schedule呼叫助手功能不起作用

Question

I'm trying to run a Helper function (App\Helpers) on a scheduled timer using Laravel (for testing purposes I have it running once every minute). I'm using Laravel 5.3.

This is my schedule function in my Kernel.php...

    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->call(function()
        {
            // Calling this function should write a new file with a random number in it.
            // I know this works perfectly fine outside of the scheduled task because I 
            // call it in other places, and it works)

            FileEdit::UpdateFile();

        })->everyMinute();
    }

The issue is that the FileEdit::UpdateFile() part is NOT ever being called by the laravel at the designated time intervals.

Answer 1

Are you running a cron job to execute the schedule command every minute?

https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/scheduling#introduction

* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

This Cron will call the Laravel command scheduler every minute. When the schedule:run command is executed, Laravel will evaluate your scheduled tasks and runs the tasks that are due.
