[BUG]: Register CLI application throwing warning

[dz3n]

Describe the bug
Throwing deprecated warning

To Reproduce
Based on documentation, to register CLI application code like this is required:

//cli.php
$console = new Console($container);

$arguments = [];
foreach ($argv as $k => $arg) {
    if ($k === 1) {
        $arguments['task'] = $arg;
    } elseif ($k === 2) {
        $arguments['action'] = $arg;
    } elseif ($k >= 3) {
        $arguments['params'][] = $arg;
    }
}
$console->handle($arguments);

Which cause this kind of warning

Deprecated: Phalcon\Dispatcher\AbstractDispatcher::setActionName(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($actionName) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/application/apps/crontabs/cli.php on line 283

Details

• Phalcon version: 5.0.4
• PHP Version: PHP 8.1.7
• Operating System:
• Installation type: Ubuntu + Docker
• Server: Nginx

Could please specify what is on line 283 in cli.php file?

Could please specify what is on line 283 in cli.php file?

I've edited my previous post.

//line 283
$console->handle($arguments);

Thanks!

@dz3n If possible can you also post the task you are trying to run? (the task class) as well as the command you are invoking in the CLI?

I have the same problem. I solved it by always passing the second parameter, even though it's mainAction

@niden

The task class doesn't matter really

the command is as follow:
/usr/local/bin/php /var/www/application/apps/crontabs/cli.php taskclass

without any action and params arguments

If I change it with second param like this
/usr/local/bin/php /var/www/application/apps/crontabs/cli.php taskclass main

I don't get warnings, so @Alistar84 is right, I need to pass second argument in order to get rid of this error

@dz3n I am having some trouble recreating this.

First of all in your code you can make a small change so that you don't have to run each command with main. Look at this:

//cli.php
$console = new Console($container);

$arguments = [
    'action' => 'main',
];
foreach ($argv as $k => $arg) {
    if ($k === 1) {
        $arguments['task'] = $arg;
    } elseif ($k === 2) {
        $arguments['action'] = $arg;
    } elseif ($k >= 3) {
        $arguments['params'][] = $arg;
    }
}
$console->handle($arguments);

Now for my test I am using the tasks in our testing suite. My cli.php is as follows:

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 'On');

use Phalcon\Cli\Console;
use Phalcon\Cli\Dispatcher;
use Phalcon\Di\FactoryDefault\Cli as CliDI;

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$container  = new CliDI();
$dispatcher = new Dispatcher();

$dispatcher->setDefaultNamespace('Phalcon\Tests\Fixtures\Tasks');
$container->setShared('dispatcher', $dispatcher);

$console = new Console($container);

$arguments = [];
foreach ($argv as $k => $arg) {
    if ($k === 1) {
        $arguments['task'] = $arg;
    } elseif ($k === 2) {
        $arguments['action'] = $arg;
    } elseif ($k >= 3) {
        $arguments['params'][] = $arg;
    }
}

try {
    $console->handle($arguments);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    fwrite(STDERR, $e->getMessage() . PHP_EOL);
    exit(1);
} catch (Throwable $throwable) {
    fwrite(STDERR, $throwable->getMessage() . PHP_EOL);
    exit(1);
}

Then I run (in a localr docker environment)

php -d extension=ext/modules/phalcon.so aa.php params

This executes the ParamsTask (tests/_data/fixtures/Tasks/ParamsTask.php) which does not have a mainAction in it. The result I get back is as expected:

Action 'main' was not found in handler 'params'

If I run it for the EchoTask (tests/_data/fixtures/Tasks/EchoTask.php) and modify that task slightly to echo 'Hello' in the main action I get

php -d extension=ext/modules/phalcon.so aa.php echo
Hello

I am not sure why this happens and I cannot get this to replicate. Feel free to email me directly (nikos@phalcon.io) so that we can arrange some sort of screen sharing to figure this out. Alternatively, if this is not feasible, have a look above for any changes between my code and yours and let me know.

@dz3n never mind I managed to reproduce it

Resolved in #16189

Thank you @dz3n
