Laravel Schedule Call Helper Function Not Working

I'm trying to run a Helper function (App\Helpers) on a scheduled timer using Laravel (for testing purposes I have it running once every minute). I'm using Laravel 5.3.

This is my schedule function in my Kernel.php...

    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->call(function()
        {
            // Calling this function should write a new file with a random number in it.
            // I know this works perfectly fine outside of the scheduled task because I 
            // call it in other places, and it works)

            FileEdit::UpdateFile();

        })->everyMinute();
    }

The issue is that the FileEdit::UpdateFile() part is NOT ever being called by the laravel at the designated time intervals.

Are you running a cron job to execute the schedule command every minute?

https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/scheduling#introduction

* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

This Cron will call the Laravel command scheduler every minute. When the schedule:run command is executed, Laravel will evaluate your scheduled tasks and runs the tasks that are due.

Your code looks fine, assuming you have cron configured correctly, this may help you debug your issue https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/scheduling#task-hooks

Still I would double check if your cron is working, and set according to https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/scheduling#introduction
