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\')->dai         


        

Answer 1

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

Since I still ran into this issue 4 years later (2019) and a different workaround worked for me, I think it is worth hinting the simple step that solved for me, which is: Use a shorter interval first.

That seems to just wake it up to handle longer intervals in some ways. I had everyFiveMinutes() and for almost 2 hours it was getting the No scheduled commands are ready to run response. I simply changed it to everyMinute() and it started running correctly. I watched it consistently for like 10 minutes or so, then changed it back to everyFiveMinutes() and it all went smoothly.

Answer 3

The full answer to this question is not listed above as far as I can see. Let's assume that our schedule is as follows:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    $schedule
        -> command('cbh:dummyCommand')
        -> everyFiveMinutes()
        -> appendOutputTo ('/my/logs/laravel_output.log');
}

What I've discovered is that this code doesn't set your job to run every 5 minutes. Nor does it prevent the command running again if it was run less than 5-minutes ago.

A better way to think about it is that this code sets the named command "to be runnable every time the minute-figure of the current time is 0 or 5". In other words, if I run the command-line argument: php artisan schedule:run at 11:04, then the response is:

# No scheduled commands are ready to run.

But if I run the same command at 11:00 or 11:05, then we get:

# Running scheduled command: php artisan cbh:dummyCommand >> /my/logs/laravel_output.log 2>&1

And I end up with output in my log-file.

I discovered the above when my everyFiveMinutes() schedule was creating a log in my file every 10 minutes based on the fact that my task-scheduler was running every 2 minutes.

However, this doesn't quite address your issue, given that the daily() schedule (0 0 * * *) aligns with your cron-job schedule. The only thing I can imagine is that there is some kind of misalignment with your time-zones as suggested by @Octavio Herrera. But that's difficult to say without knowing a bit more about your environment.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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."

Answer 6

I've stuck with this problem No scheduled commands are ready to run. for an hours, but solve it easly:

Problem was with rights to folder storage.

So, i've set chmod -R 777 storage/* (i'm not sure is this is elegant way).

After that cron starts working properly.
