Calling console command within command and get the output in Symfony2
Here you can have a basic command inside a command. The output from the second command can be a json, then you just have to decode the output json to retrieve your array.
$command = $this->getApplication()->find('doctrine:fixtures:load');
$arguments = array(
//'--force' => true
''
);
$input = new ArrayInput($arguments);
$returnCode = $command->run($input, $output);
if($returnCode != 0) {
$text .= 'fixtures successfully loaded ...';
$output = json_decode(rtrim($output));
}
you have to pass the command in the arguments array, and to avoid the confirmation dialog in doctrine:fixtures:load you have to pass --append and not --force
$arguments = array(
'command' => 'doctrine:fixtures:load',
//'--append' => true
''
);
or it will fail with error message “Not enough arguments.”
There is an new Output class (as of v2.4.0) called BufferedOutput
.
This is a very simple class that will return and clear the buffered output when the method fetch
is called:
$output = new BufferedOutput();
$input = new ArrayInput($arguments);
$code = $command->run($input, $output);
if($code == 0) {
$outputText = $output->fetch();
echo $outputText;
}
