How to call a console command in web application action in Yii?

I have a console command to do a consumer time, AND I need to know how to call (execute) it in a web application action in YII.

class MyCommand extends CConsoleCommand{
      public function actionIndex(){
          $model = new Product();
          $model->title = 'my product';
          ...
          $model->save();
          .
          .
          .
      }
}

I want to execute this code.

try this:

    Yii::import('application.commands.*');
    $command = new MyCommand("test", "test");
    $command->run(null);

The 2 parameters with value "test" must be set but do not have an impact, they are used for the --help option when using the console.

/**
 * Constructor.
 * @param string $name name of the command
 * @param CConsoleCommandRunner $runner the command runner
 */
public function __construct($name,$runner)
{
    $this->_name=$name;
    $this->_runner=$runner;
    $this->attachBehaviors($this->behaviors());
}

Accepting that we are on linux server, for Yii 1.1 real life example would be:

$run = '/usr/bin/php ' . Yii::getPathOfAlias('root').'/yiic' [command]
exec(sprintf("%s > %s 2>&1 & echo $! >> %s", $run, '/dev/null', '/dev/null'));

This will run Yii console command in the background.

Typically what you should do in these situations is refactor. Move the "common" code out of the MyCommand and place it into a class located in the components folder. Now you can place any head on top of the "common" code without altering your functionality. For example:

protected/components/Mywork.php:

<?php
class Mywork
{
    public function doWork()
    {
        $model = new Product();
        $model->title = 'my product';
        ...
        $model->save();
        ...
    }
}

protected/controller/MyworkController.php:

<?php
class MyworkController
{
    public function actionDowork()
    {
        $mywork = new Mywork;
        ...
    }
}

protected/commands/MyworkCommand.php:

<?php
class MyworkCommand extends CConsoleCommand
{
    public function run($args)
    {
        $mywork = new Mywork;
        ...
    }
}

This approach makes testing easier too as you can test Mywork as a single unit outside of the view you are using.

Also, another very clean solution from cebe on gist:

<?php
// ...
$runner=new CConsoleCommandRunner();
$runner->commands=array(
    'commandName' => array(
        'class' => 'application.commands.myCommand',
    ),
);

ob_start();
$runner->run(array(
    'yiic',
    'idbrights',
));
echo nl2br(htmlentities(ob_get_clean(), null, Yii::app()->charset));

Yii::app()->end();

Try this

Yii::import('application.commands.*');
$command = new GearmanCommand('start', Yii::app()->commandRunner);
$command->run(array('start', '--daemonize', '--initd'));

where array('start', '--daemonize', '--initd') is a action and action parameters

I had same problem - i need to call action from inside controller and from command

I said same problem because it actually same - you have action which you need to call from console, and call it from controller too.

If you need to call an action(command) as a part of controller action, then i think you need to modify this solution a little. Or is my solution is enough for you?

So here is my solution:

first create action as said in http://www.yiichina.net/doc/guide/1.1/en/basics.controller#action

class NotifyUnsharedItemsAction extends CAction
{
    public function run()
    {
        echo "ok";
    }
}

then in controller action is loaded as usuall:

class TestController extends Controller
{

    public function actions() {
        return array(
            'notifyUnsharedItems'=>'application.controllers.actions.NotifyUnsharedItemsAction',
    );
}

and in command i run action in such way:

class NotifyUnsharedItemsCommand extends CConsoleCommand
{
    public function run($args)
    {
        $action = Yii::createComponent('application.controllers.actions.NotifyUnsharedItemsAction',$this,'notify');
        $action->run();
    }

}

Yii is PHP -> you can use the standard php constructs specified at http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php and the related methods near the bottom of the page, depending on what exactly you want to achieve.
