As part of my Laravel 5.2 application, I would like to define a custom command for artisan, but my command doesn't appear in artisan list
.
1). I created the command skeleton: artisan make:console --command=process:emails
2). I added a bit of test code to the handle()
method of the new class:
<?php
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use App\CommunicationsQueue;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
class ProcessEmailQueueCommand extends Command
{
/**
* The name and signature of the console command.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $signature = 'process:email';
/**
* The console command description.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $description = 'Send all currently pending emails in the queue';
/**
* Create a new command instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
/**
* Execute the console command.
*
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle()
{
CommunicationsQueue::where('status', 'PENDING')->update(['status'=>'TEST']);
$this->info('The mails queue was successfully processed.');
}
}
3). Then, I registerred the command in app/Console/Kernel.php
:
protected $commands = [
'App\Console\Commands\ProcessEmailQueueCommand',
];
What am I missing here? I'm sure it's something incredibly simple, but I'm not seeing it.
