Laravel "No scheduled commands are ready to run."

Question

I've set up the following Laravel commands:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule) {
        $schedule->command('command:daily-reset')->daily();
        $schedule->command('command:monthly-reset')->monthly();
}

Then, on my server, I've set up a cron job to run once per day (at 00:00).

0 0 * * * php /home/privates/public_html/staging/current/artisan schedule:run

My cron job is running successfully each night, but the logs simply say: "No scheduled commands are ready to run."

What am I doing wrong? I would expect my daily command to run each night.

Thanks!

Did you try running command manually?

Run php artisan and see if your commands have registered.

If you have registered your commands you should see command:daily-reset and command:monthly-reset under the list of available artisan commands.

If you don't see them there go ahead and register your commands by adding it to commands property available in app/Console/Kernel.php.

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

Change crontab entry to

* * * * * php /home/privates/public_html/staging/current/artisan schedule:run

When you run

php artisan schedule:run

in the server, where your project is stored, you could see all of your commands running with output, looking like this:

"Running scheduled command: '/usr/local/bin/php' 'artisan' cache:update > '/dev/null' 2>&1 &"

but only if the current time is the exact one, for which the command is scheduled. Otherwise you are going to see this output:

"No scheduled commands are ready to run."

For example, if you schedule the command for every five minutes and run the command in 09:07 o'clock you will see that there are no scheduled commands, but if you run it in 09:10 you will see your command running.

In this way you can just schedule your command to run every 5 min just for debugging purposes:

$schedule->command('command:daily-reset')->everyFiveMinutes();

then observe if there is any error while running and eventually fix it. By me the problem was that I haven't installed GuzzleHttp (shame), so the fix was just running this in the terminal:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

I realized that the problem for me was the below chained method:

->withoutOverlapping() 

Once I removed that method, my commands started running and being found by the daemon process.

I think there might be a bug with the method, but my project for now can take a bit overlapping so it's cool.

The Laravel scheduled commands are based in the timezone that you have configured in your app/config/app.php file (laravel 5.1):

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Timezone
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you may specify the default timezone for your application, which
| will be used by the PHP date and date-time functions. We have gone
| ahead and set this to a sensible default for you out of the box.
|
*/

'timezone' => 'America/Bogota',

So if you create a command and register it to run as a scheduled task with:

$schedule->command('command:daily-reset')->daily();

it will run every day at 00:00 OF THE TIMEZONE SPECIFIED (in this case America/Bogota)

The same thing applies if you specify a time to run the task:

$schedule->command('command:daily-reset')->daily()->at('02:30');

This will run at 02:30 am in America/Bogota local time.

NB: This is not answer for this question, but a clue for anyone debugging with php artisan schedule:run manually. Hope it saves someone a few minutes of headache.

Check if the scheduled task can run immediately. You can use the exec method for that.

<?php
...

protected function schedule (Schedule $schedule) {
    $schedule -> exec("php artisan your:command");
}

The reason for this is that, you might be scheduling the task to run at a certain time and if that time isn't due yet, it will output: "No scheduled commands are ready to run."
