Seeding tasks and frequencies help

[emiliosh]

Hi, thanks a lot for this library. Very useful.

Can I have some documentation about how to make a seed of my Task when initializing a project?

I look at Task, Frequency, and Traits but received confusing errors trying to populate the tables. Even with a very simple example like:

        $task=Task::create(
            [
                'description'=>'ldapimport',
                'command'=>'ldap:import',
                'parameters'=>'provider=ldap --no-interaction',
                'timezone'=>'Atlantic/Canary',
                'is_active'=>true,
                'dont_overlap'=>true,
                'run_in_maintenance'=>false,
                'auto_cleanup_num'=>7,
                'auto_cleanup_type'=>'days',
                'run_on_one_server'=>false,
                'run_in_background'=>false
            ]
        );

        $freq=Frequency::create(
            ['label'=>'Daily',
            'task_id'=>$task->id,
            'interval'=>'daily']
        );

Thanks in advance.

I have decided to bypass the problem with:

class ScheduleTaskSeeder extends BaseSeeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeds.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        Task::insert(
            [
                'description'=>'ldapimport',
                'command'=>'ldap:import',
                'parameters'=>'provider=ldap --no-interaction',
                'timezone'=>'Atlantic/Canary',
                'is_active'=>true,
                'dont_overlap'=>true,
                'run_in_maintenance'=>false,
                'auto_cleanup_num'=>7,
                'auto_cleanup_type'=>'days',
                'run_on_one_server'=>false,
                'run_in_background'=>false
            ]
        );

        $task=Task::where('description','=','ldapimport')->first();

        $freq=Frequency::insert(
            ['label'=>'Daily',
            'task_id'=>$task->id,
            'interval'=>'daily']
        );
    }
}

have you tried factories? https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/database-testing#creating-models-using-factories. I might be wrong but it seems this is what you are looking for?
