Artisan Call output in Controller?

Question

I have a complex Artisan Command that I wanna call in my Controller also. That works. Except that it return an Exitcode instead of output.

use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\BufferedOutput; # on top

public function foobar(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'date' => 'required|date_format:Y-m-d',
    ]);

    $output = new BufferedOutput;

    $exitCode = Artisan::call('foo:bar', [
        'datum' => $request->get('date'),
    ], $output);
    return $exitCode; # returns 0;
    return dd($output->fetch()); # returns ""
}

I want the output of the command. How to do that? The last line of my Artisan command has a return on the last line that should be returned.. How?

Solution 1

$command = 'foo:bar';

$params = [
        'datum' => $request->get('date'),
];

Artisan::call($command, $params);
dd(Artisan::output());

Solution 2

code to output inspire phrases instead of exit code

Route::get('/wisdom', function (Request $request) {
   Artisan::call('inspire');
   return Artisan::output();
});

Solution 3

Some off commands can not run with php artisan in controller you need to run them with shell

public function getCommand($command)
    {
        echo '<br> php artisan ' . $command . ' is running...';
        $output = new BufferedOutput;
        if(strpos($command, 'api') === false && strpos($command, 'passport') === false){
            Artisan::call($command, [], $output);
        }else{
            shell_exec('php ../artisan ' . $command);
            dump('php ../artisan ' . $command);
        }
        dump($output->fetch());
        echo 'php artisan ' . $command . ' completed.';
        echo '<br><br><a href="/admin/setting/advance">Go back</a>';
    }

This is the list of commands and api:gen and passport install just will run with shell from /bootstrap folder !

$commands = [
            [
                'id' => 1,
                'description' => 'recompile classes',

Artisan:output may help you.

[user1469734]

Why only with dd()? And then it returns all the $this->info('foobar') things. But I'm returning at the end an array that I wanna re-use.

[zorx]

dd() is just to show you the response, if you want to use the result somewhere so all you have to do is return Artisan::output(); instead of dd(..)

[Zohaib Hassan]

dump(trim(Artisan::output())); could be used if you don't want to terminate request there.

[Raja Khoury]

Thank you Farid.

Don't forget you may need to import the facade with use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan; before you can reference it.
