In my laravel project, I have this file in my tests directory:

tom_test.php:

    <?php
        error_log("hello world");
Copy code

I want to schedule this script to run every 'x' amount of time. I've seen this question from cyber8200. Unfortunately, I'm unsure how to make this test script to run.

Do I have to convert the test file to a class instead?

I would appreciate it if somebody would explicitly state what code needs to be added to theapp/Console/Kernel.php file. I suspect it should resemble some of the code in the cyber8200 question

UPDATE

Thanks to Tim Lewis' comment, I've managed to get the cron job running (I think).

Unfortunately, I cannot see the "hello world" message being logged to the console.

Here is what I've done

I added a command as follows:

    public function handle()
    {
        error_log("hello");
//        echo base_path();
        exit;
        include base_path().'/tests/Browser/tom_test.php';
    }
Copy code

and this schedule function to the kernel:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
     $schedule->command('tom_test')
              ->everyMinute();
}
Copy code

This is the result I get:
