How can I run symfony 2 run command from controller

Question

I\'m wondering how can I run Symfony 2 command from browser query or from controller.

Its because I don\'t have any possibility on hosting to run it

Answer 1

Register your command as a service and don't forget to call setContainer

MyCommandService:
    class: MyBundle\Command\MyCommand
    calls:
        - [setContainer, ["@service_container"] ]

In your controller, you'll just have to get this service, and call the execute method with the rights arguments

Set the input with setArgument method:

$input = new Symfony\Component\Console\Input\ArgvInput([]);
$input->setArgument('arg1', 'value');
$output = new Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput();

Call the run method of the command:

$command = $this->get('MyCommandService');
$command->run($input, $output);
