Laravel: Send slack notification after a scheduled task finished

I need to schedule a few tasks on an application built using Laravel and I would like to send a slack notification after those tasks are finished with the output.

Laravel provides an "after" hook (https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/scheduling#task-hooks) so I can do something like this:

$schedule->command('mycommand')
     ->daily()
     ->after(function () {
         // How can I access the command's name and output from here?
     });

I've tried with $this->output but $this points to App\Console\Kernel and it says Undefined property: App\Console\Kernel::$output. I've also tried to pass a parameter to the closure, but I think I need to specify a type, but I have no idea and the documentation is not very clear.

Anyone has any idea on how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Assuming you have this in your command

$this->info('hello');

In your kernel, you can send the output to a temporary file and then read the file and send it

/** @var \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Event $command */
$command = $schedule->command('mycommand')
    ->daily()
    ->sendOutputTo('storage/app/logs.txt');

$command->after(function () use ($command) {
    \Log::debug([$command->command, $command->output]);
    \Log::debug(file_get_contents($command->output));
});

You will get

[2019-10-11 13:03:38] local.DEBUG: array (
  0 => '\'/usr/bin/php7.3\' \'artisan\' command:name',
  1 => 'storage/app/logs.txt',
)  
[2019-10-11 13:03:38] local.DEBUG: hello

Maybe it would be the time to re-open this proposal https://github.com/laravel/ideas/issues/122#issuecomment-228215251

What kind of output does your command generate? is it command line or is just a variable you're trying to pass to the after()?

Alternativly in your handle() method of the command you can call the desired command after all the code has been excuted, you can even pass a parameter to the command.

You can do that by using Artisan

Artisan::call('*command_name_here*');
