[FIXED] Laravel 5 - Task schedule withoutOverlapping not working

Issue

I try to run schedule on Laravel 5. Its work fine when I run this:

$schedule->call(function() {
   // do something here..
})->everyMinute();

But when I add withoutOverlapping(), the scheduler never run the task:

$schedule->call(function () {
   // do something here..
})->everyMinute()->name('job_name')->withoutOverlapping();

*these schedule code is written at /app/Console/Kernel.php

Solution

Delete ->everyMinute() when using ->withoutOverlapping() it will still run every minute but without overlapping.

UPDATE

Since Laravel v. 5.5+ you can specify on how many minutes must pass before the "without overlapping" lock expires.

eg. ->withoutOverlapping(10) can be used to unlock the "overlapping" when 10 minutes will pass.
