Cron Jobs + ContainerFinder.php:

[Pete78]

Hi,

we used to develop some modules which have cronjobs.

The file "cron.php" could look like this.

<?php
include('../../config/config.inc.php');
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/mymodule.php');

if (Tools::getIsset('secure_key'))
{
  //....
//check token etc.
  //....
  $mymodule = new mymodule();
  $mymodule->doCronTask();
}

In the module file, there could be methods which are calling the deprecated

Tools::displayPrice();

or the newer formatPrice method of the Tool class directly.

 

but this leads into

Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Kernel Container is not available in ***/src/Adapter/ContainerFinder.php:77 Stack trace: 
#0 ***/classes/Tools.php(796): PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Adapter\ContainerFinder->getContainer() 
#1 ***/classes/Tools.php(773): ToolsCore::getContextLocale(Object(Context))

#5 ***/vendor/sm in ***/src/Adapter/ContainerFinder.php on line 77

 

I guess, it is because no locale is defined in the context. Is there a better way to create a cron job? Do i need to load sth. before the cronjob call? This was working until displayPrice was replaced.

I saw, that a couple of modules will run into this problem. 

Any help appreciated.

I found the answer by myself, inspired by some github search https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/issues/15503

 

global $kernel;
if(!$kernel){ 
require_once _PS_ROOT_DIR_.'/app/AppKernel.php';
$kernel = new \AppKernel('prod', false);
$kernel->boot(); 
}

needs to be called before.

And you should use a frontcrontroller to execute it, not just a plain php file...

Hello,

I want to generate pdf invoice in a cronjob and I try this directly in php

require('config/config.inc.php');

 global $kernel;
 if(!$kernel){
      require_once _PS_ROOT_DIR_.'/app/AppKernel.php';
       $kernel = new \AppKernel('prod', false);
       $kernel->boot();
  }

$id_order=123887;
$toto= new AdminPdfController;
$toto->generateInvoicePDFByIdOrder($id_order);

but I have smarty error

Notice: Trying to get property 'id' of non-object in classes/controller/AdminController.php on line 463

Notice: Trying to get property 'id_profile' of non-object in classes/controller/AdminController.php on line 558

how can I use a frontcontroller to execute it  ?
