send-sms | Nexmo demo : Sending SMS from web | SMS library

It was a problem with the environment variables. I hardcoded them but the getenv() was returning an empty string and I don't know why it was happening. So to fix it I set them following this tutorial (for windows): phoenixnap.com/kb/windows-set-environment-variable. For linux you can try using these commands:

php doesn't know what DOMAIN is unless you specify it. In this case you initialized in the const so just call it.

The create method returns promise too so you must add the return keyword there as well.

Instead of:

Looking at the ClickSend API documentation for that SMS send endpoint it appears your messages payload is not formatted correctly.

Try this instead:

In your payload in sendSms you're overwriting to, you don't want to do this:

TL;DR: It might work the way you expect it. But I from your description I would say you should use Laravels Queues.

If you declare a everyMinute(), in fact this will make laravel run this event on every call of php artisan schedule:run. If you declare it everyFiveMinutes(), it will execute the command on every minute that is divisible by 5 with every call of schedule:run. The Laravel Scheduler is built to be run exactly once per minute.

The spatie-package, as it clearly says, is made for testing environments.

Laravel's native scheduler relies on cron to be executed every minute. It's rock solid and in most cases you should stick to using it. I advise you not to use it for production. Also the frequency-argument is obviously ment if you do some testing, to reduce the time you have to wait for an action. Again, you should not depend on it for an production enviroment.

By using withoutOverlapping() you will eliminate some of the side-effects from running it more frequently. It will work the job through, and will not start a new one if the previous one is still processing.

However, I think it's pretty obvious that you are using the wrong tool in Laravel to process potentially slow tasks. Lets take your first command api:elite-send-sms for an example. I'm pretty sure you do not want to send the sms every 5 seconds. You would like to send it on an event, and that's what Laravel Queues are for. On the event, you will dispatch a job to the queue, and immidiatelly finish the request, without waiting for the job to be executed.

You can still use queues, even if your environment can not use redis and Laravel Horizon. But if you can use Horizon, it will make easier for you (after spending a day learning about it).

Normally the firewall and related security stuff only applies to HTTP requests. Console commands don't have users and permissions as such. So it was puzzling that a simple entity update was apparently triggering isGranted.

Just as a guess I suggested looking into Doctrine events. It's possible that they could be checking for permissions. And as it turns out, I guessed right. I guess the 'value' of this answer is that there is often more going in than meets the eye.

Your file sms.cron seems to contain lines with 3 backticks

To anyone who came here looking for a solution, it is seriously a dependency problem. I had 3 jackson APIs' (annotations, databind and core) added manually to my project and that was the issue. It actually required more then that.

So what i did is switched to Maven project by following Convert Existing Eclipse Project to Maven Project and in pom.xml, in i copy pasted all the that twilio required to work from here https://github.com/twilio/twilio-java/blob/main/pom.xml

Thanks to @MichałZiober for the suggestion, it eventually worked.

Hope this helps anyone from scratching their heads for hours :) Goodluck!
