if outside the queue. this code can run succesful. but when i want to make it run inside the queue jobs. it can't.

how do i able to run symfony Process function inside queue on jobs laravel.

Solution

  • I think the problem is the paths. Replace the --filename option value with the absolute path (from /):

    $path = public_path('data/nintendo.csv');

$process = new Process("facebook-scraper --filename {$path} --pages 5 nintendo");

...

    ...

    And try to use full path to executable (facebook-scraper). You can use which to find it.

    Example:

    $ which facebook-scraper       
/usr/bin/facebook-scraper
