Default path/location of script

[hhuy0001]

Crunz version: 2.0

PHP version: 7.3.4

Operating system type and version: Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit

Description
I'm confused about how to point my Task file to a script file.

How to reproduce
I have a NotificationTasks.php file located in the tasks folder, which is in the project root.

<?php

use Crunz\Schedule;

$schedule = new Schedule();
$task = $schedule->run('/usr/bin/php Notify.php');
$task
    ->daily()
    ->description('Remind admins and participants about programs and sections');
return $schedule;

Notify.php is also located in the same folder.

When I try to test this by running schedule:run --force, I receive a The system cannot find the path specified error.

I'm not sure, for example, in the documentation example, where backup.php should be located.
I have also tried messing around with the in() method without success.

Hello, it will be much better if you use absolute paths, like __DIR__ . '/Notify.php', in you example: $task = $schedule->run('/usr/bin/php' . __DIR__ . '/Notify.php');

Crunz run each task as a separate process which cwd is the same like current cwd - I'm 99% sure, if you want i could debug it to make 100% sure. Another thing is in() method, it should work and is created to solve cases like yours.
How you use in() method? Maybe there is some bug in in() method. IMO $task->in(__DIR__) should do the trick.

Maybe you have some ideas how documentation can be upgraded? I'm open for PR, feel free to open one, if you want.

To summarize: always use absolute paths 😃

Okay that makes sense.

However, using $task = $schedule->run('/usr/bin/php' . __DIR__ . '/Notify.php'); throws The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Alternatively, $task->in(__DIR__) throws The system cannot find the path specified.

I apologise if this is really basic, and I appreciate the help a lot!

Looks like you forget space after php binary, should be: run('/usr/bin/php ' . __DIR__ . '/Notify.php').

[hhuy0001]

That still throws The system cannot find the path specified.

Could you create reproducer repository?

[hhuy0001]

Sorry I'm not sure how to best create a repro. Here is a screenshot of the file structure of my project though.

So, I forget about one important thing - you are using Windows, so your PHP binary is definitely not /usr/php/bin :) Try this command: PHP_BINARY . ' ' . __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'Notify.php'.

[hhuy0001]

Yes, that worked. Thank you for your help!

#256 was merged to suggest using PHP_BINARY, thanks @hhuy0001.
