Chain commands in Laravel Artisan Scheduler?

Question

Suppose I have three commands I want to schedule: 'commandA', 'commandB', and 'commandC'

But I don't want to run 'commandB' until 'commandA' is complete and I don't want to run 'commandC' until 'commandB' is complete.

I know I can schedule each to run every five minutes:

$schedule->command('commandA')->everyFiveMinutes();
$schedule->command('commandB')->everyFiveMinutes();
$schedule->command('commandC')->everyFiveMinutes();

But is it possible to chain them one after the other?

Answer 1

Use then(Closure $callback) to chain commands:

$schedule->command('commandA')->everyFiveMinutes()->then(function() {
    $this->call('commandB');
    $this->call('commandC');
});
