Laravel “schedule:work” Command

Laravel has an Ideas Github area where you can use the issue tracker to propose your ideas for future changes to the framework, and a few weeks ago Brian Dillingham threw out the idea to improve how schedule:run works locally. Mainly when you want to test your schedules without dealing with CRON locally.

From this discussion, Illia Sakovich submitted a pull request to add a brand new “schedule:work” command and it’s now merged and in the latest Laravel release.

schedule::work

The new schedule:work command mimics an every minute CRON Tab and calls schedule:run directly every minute, and here is the code that drives it:

It’s simple and pretty smart. Basically it keeps running and each minute when the seconds are 0 it fires schedule:run. Then once you are done with your testing just cancel it on the terminal with Ctrl+c.

This will be a big help for testing all your scheduled commands locally.

Taylor Otwell Youtube Jetstream Discussion

One of the new features that came with the release of Laravel 8 is Jetstream, which provides a starting point for new projects, including login, registration, email verification, two-factor authentication, session management, API support via Laravel, and team management.

Some people seemed to have issues with the way it is designed, the choices made in the tech stack, and other questions. So Taylor did an impromptu live discussion on Youtube this week.

Although it’s now over if you’d like to learn more about the history of this feature, why it works the way does, and a little more behind the scenes this is a great video to watch.
