[1.1] Usage outside of Artisan commands

[necenzurat]

Any chance for this to be implemented with queues, that would be awesome.

[nunomaduro]

@necenzurat Can you give me an example? Queuing a command?

[necenzurat]

nope, when you dispatch a job, the job fires up a dusk instance, just like the command but with queues. Could that be posible?

[nunomaduro]

I think so. I will do a test locally tho.

[nunomaduro]

@necenzurat Sure is possible. You have two options:

1. You can call your artisan command from your job using Artisan::call($commandName);

2. You can place the code as the following example in your job:

resolve(ManagerContract::class)->browse($this, function ($browser) {
    $browser->visit('http://laravel-zero.com')
        ->assertSee('Collision');
});

I need to import the ManagerContract, where is that?

<?php

namespace App\Jobs;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;

class Q implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;

    /**
     * Create a new job instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Execute the job.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        resolve(\ManagerContract::class)->browse($this, function ($browser) {
            $browser->visit('https://necesrequests.herokuapp.com/1eyyti51');
        });
    }
}

Found it, but:

[nunomaduro]

@necenzurat Hummmmmm. I need to take a deep look into this.

The first option is not good?

[necenzurat]

Nope, i would like to have the possibility to queue some jobs then the workers would start the chrome browsers in parallel for scraping/other purposes. The command method is slow if you wan't to check many links at the same time. 🐌

@necenzurat I understand. We should definitely find a way for making things easy while using Laravel Jobs.

[necenzurat]

I mean, it would be super cool, but no worries, no one is in a hurry. Let me know if i can help. Ps: would be nice in a separate package like the awesome laravel-console-dusk.

Would be good to have: Provide an easy way of using this package outside artisan commands.

Hey,

I'm taking a look at it, and maybe something like this helps:

• Extend your job with Illuminate\Console\Command:

...
use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class bot extends Command implements ShouldQueue {
    ...
}

• Then you will have a problem of $this->output being null on your LaravelConsoleTaskServiceProvider. For a temporary fix, you can add something like this in the beginning of the task macro function, line 43, by adding:

  ...
  Command::macro(
  'task',
  function (string $title, $task = null, $loadingText = 'loading...') {
      $this->output = optional($this->output); // Add this line
  
      $this->output->write("$title: <comment>{$loadingText}</comment>");
  ...

@nunomaduro, @owenvoke it would be nice if you can take a look at this, so we can find a solution, as it is the same issue as #17.
