If command has an echo "something" it stops executing...

Hello Vasile
Excellent extension.
I have a small problem ...
it works perfectly in my localhost development environment (PHP 7.0.28-0 ubuntu 0.16.04.1) but when I upload it to the web server (linux PHP 5.6.35) it does not work.

Any suggestions?
Maybe some PHP option or extension.
Thank you very much.

I have:

• yii2 advanced
• ubuntu 14.04

I placed this in the common\main.php:

'consoleRunner' => [
    'class' => 'vova07\console\ConsoleRunner',
    'file' => '@app/yii'
]

Inside of the SiteController I have created action called actionTest which is the following: (based on this issue)

public function actionTest() {
    $connection = \Yii::$app->db;
    $connection->createCommand()->dropTable('TestTable');
    $connection->createCommand()->createTable('TestTable', ['column1' => 'string', 'column2' => 'integer']);

    return 0;
}

and I am calling console runner from actionIndex like this:

Yii::$app->consoleRunner->run('site/test');

This problem happens in front-end and back-end side of the application, meaning that I cannot run background processes on either side.

And problem is that site/test does not want to execute on the background. I did this example just to test the class, however in real I need this class to send ~1000 emails.

Any clues what can be the cause of the issue?

Btw, according to this:

Yii::$app->consoleRunner->run('site/test');

I can pass params (eg. Yii::$app->consoleRunner->run('site/index param1 param2')) to the actions. However in the documentation it does not say how to get them inside from the action which is being called as a background.

When using php-fpm, PHP_BINARY returns php-fpm binary not php binary

For example:
php-fpm: PHP_BINARY = /usr/sbin/php-fpm
php: PHP_BINARY = /usr/bin/php

I do believe is better to use old solution

$cmd = PHP_BINDIR . '/php ' . Yii::getAlias($this->file) . ' ' . $cmd;

instead of a new one

$cmd = PHP_BINARY . ' ' . Yii::getAlias($this->file) . ' ' . $cmd;

Due to a bug in PHP ( https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61044&edit=1 ) PHP_BINDIR does not correctly point to the PHP executable under Windows, particularly when PHP is installed as part of XAMPP etc.
PHP_BINARY also does not work correctly under Windows (points to Apache httpd).

Perhaps the simplest workaround is to add another configuration parameter to point to php.exe when the OS is Windows. See https://github.com/GaryA/yii2-console-runner-extension

How to call the commands in the module?

Dear, the extension is very good, I am being able to use it. I just have a question, how can I send an array as a parameter, or what is better a file that I have collected from a form with UploadedFile. I hope you can answer me with an idea because reading the official documentation of yii2 I can not find the solution. Greetings!

It would be nice if the command is not just a string. Rather it should be like it is with Url::to() where you pass an array with the route and parameters.

Here is how i am trying to invoke the console command
Invoking function in siteController.php

use vova07\console\ConsoleRunner;
public function actionIndex()
    {
        $cr = new ConsoleRunner(['file' => '@app/controllers/SiteController']);
        $cr->run('site/display');
        return $this->render('index');
    }

console action is also in siteController.php

public function actionDisplay(){
//some code
}

but after running index action it is not invoking the display action
