Override Symfony\Component\Console\Commande\Command.php - symfony

Question

I am developping some kind of cronjob monitoring on our symfony2 application.
I created a CommandExecution entity with a 'completed' property.
I'm using console events to create and persist this entity.
My service :
kernel.listener.console:
class: Evo\CronBundle\EventListener\ConsoleListener
arguments: [#doctrine.orm.entity_manager]
tags:
- { name: kernel.event_listener, event: console.command, method: onConsoleCommand }
- { name: kernel.event_listener, event: console.terminate, method: onConsoleTerminate }
- { name: kernel.event_listener, event: console.exception, method: onConsoleException }
and the ConsoleListener:onConsoleCommand() and ConsoleListener:onConsoleTerminate() methods called when a command starts and ends to execute :
public function onConsoleCommand(ConsoleCommandEvent $event)
{
$command = $event->getCommand();
$commandEntity = $this->em->getRepository('EvoCronBundle:Command')->findOneBy(['name' => $command->getName()]);
$commandExecution = new CommandExecution();
$commandExecution->setCommand($commandEntity);
$this->em->persist($commandExecution);
$this->em->flush();
// here I want to pass my entity to the command, so I can get it back in the onConsoleTerminate() method
$command->setCommandExecution($commandExecution);
}
public function onConsoleTerminate(ConsoleTerminateEvent $event)
{
$command = $event->getCommand();
// here, retrieve the commandExecution entity passed in onConsoleCommand() method
$commandExecution = $command->getCommandExecution();
$commandExecution->setCompleted(true);
$this->em->flush();
}
As you can see in these methods, I would like to add a commandExecution property to the Symfony Component Console\Command\Command.php, so I can pass in my commandExecution entity and change its status.
Do I have to override this component ? If yes, how ? Or can I do it in a simpler way ?

Answer 1

Add the commandExecution property in your ConsoleListener
protected $commandExecution = null;
Then set it in your onConsoleCommand() method
public function onConsoleCommand(ConsoleCommandEvent $event)
{
$command = $event->getCommand();
$commandEntity = $this->em->getRepository('EvoCronBundle:Command')->findOneBy(['name' => $command->getName()]);
$commandExecution = new CommandExecution();
$commandExecution->setCommand($commandEntity);
$this->em->persist($commandExecution);
$this->em->flush();
$this->commandExecution = $commandExecution;
}
Then you can access to it in your onConsoleTerminate() method
public function onConsoleTerminate(ConsoleTerminateEvent $event)
{
$command = $event->getCommand();
// here, retrieve the commandExecution entity passed in onConsoleCommand() method
$commandExecution = $this->commandExecution;
$commandExecution->setCompleted(true);
$this->em->flush();
}
Don't forget to test if commandExecution value is null in onConsoleTerminate() method
