[FIXED] Laravel 5 schedule not working

Issue

My laravel version is 5.0.28, I build on cloud9, and I added this command to my cron:

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/bin
* * * * * php /home/ubuntu/workspace/app/artisan scheduled:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

I added this code on my Kernel.php. I referenced this site: https://laravel-news.com/2014/11/laravel-5-scheduler/

<?php namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
use App\Http\Controllers\ApiController;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel {

    protected $commands = [
        'App\Console\Commands\Inspire',
    ];

    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->call('ApiController@test_job')->hourly();
    }
}

I waited and it still didn't work, so I tried to use the command php artisan schedule:run, and I got: No scheduled commands are ready to run.

I searched and found this answer: Laravel 5 "Class does not exist" when using the scheduler

So I modified my code. Also, this code had no specified time, so I modified my cron to specify a time, but it still doesn't work. I have no more ideas. please help. Thanks.

code

$schedule->call(join('@', [ApiController::class, 'test_job']));

cron

0 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21 * * * php /home/ubuntu/workspace/app/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
30 1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22 * * * php /home/ubuntu/workspace/app/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

Solution

Laravel scheduler works with commands, not with controller methods:

1. create command:

php artisan make:command PurchasePodcast

2. edit command:

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class PurchasePodcast extends Command
{
    protected $name = 'purchase:podcast';

    public function fire()
    {
        // do stuff here
    }
}

3. add command to Console\Kernel.php:

protected $commands = [
    'App\Console\Commands\PurchasePodcast',
];

4. use command in scheduler:

$schedule->command('purchase:podcast')->hourly();
