Slim 3 console execution for cron

Question

I'm trying to create some kind of import to move database info and transform data. In the future this import needs to be executed by cron every day. I want to use part of my written code and reuse some models and controllers. To do this I'm trying to call Slim 3 through the command line, but I have some problems.

console command:

 php cli.php import

I don't know how to process argv correctly.

cli.php:

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

if (PHP_SAPI == 'cli') {
    $argv = $GLOBALS['argv'];
    array_shift($argv);

    $pathInfo       = implode('/', $argv);

    $env = \Slim\Http\Environment::mock(['PATH_INFO' => $pathInfo]);

    $settings = require __DIR__ . '/app/config/settings.php'; // here are return ['settings'=>'']

    //I try adding here path_info but this is wrong, I'm sure
    $settings['environment'] = $env; 

    $app = new \Slim\App($settings);

    $container = $app->getContainer();
    $container['errorHandler'] = function ($c) {
        return function ($request, $response, $exception) use ($c) {
             //this is wrong, i'm not with http
             return $c['response']->withStatus(500)
                  ->withHeader('Content-Type', 'text/text')
                  ->write('Something went wrong!');
        };
    };

    $container['notFoundHandler'] = function ($c) {
        //this is wrong, i'm not with http
        return function ($request, $response) use ($c) {
            return $c['response']
                ->withStatus(404)
                ->withHeader('Content-Type', 'text/text')
                ->write('Not Found');
        };
    };

    $app->map(['GET'], 'import', function() {
       // do import calling Actions or Controllers
    });
}

If I execute this I see a 404 Page not found error.

Any directions?

Answer 1

Someone in Slim 3 Framework discussion forums answered the question and solved my problem.

I just modified it by adding a slash in the code to avoid adding a call. Something like:

$env = \Slim\Http\Environment::mock(['REQUEST_URI' => '/' . $pathInfo]);

Now the code works and I can call it from the command line.

php cli.php import

This is because Slim 3 waits for a route, and adds a slash to REQUEST_URI I'm emulating and I can execute code.
