Command invoker service

How to invoke a command

The commandInvoker service can be used to invoke other named commands.

Example

$commandInvoker = $this->getContainer()->get('commandInvoker');
$commandInvoker->invokeCommand($input, 'my:command', ['--option' => 'value']);

The above example will invoke the my:command command with the specified option.

Pinning global options

You can pin parameters by using the $commandInvoker->pinGlobalOption($option, $value) method. This will ensure that subsequent usage of the commandInvoker service will pass the pinned option as a parameter to the command being invoked.

You can unpin an option by calling $commandInvoker->unpinGlobalOption($option). This will prevent the option from being passed along to future command invocations.

Interaction with configuration

Configuration is loaded fresh for every command invocation. This means that config set during runtime will not be available to future command invocations.

Example

$this-getConfig()->set('my.foo', 'bar');
$commandInvoker = $this->getContainer()->get('commandInvoker');
$commandInvoker->invokeCommand($input, 'my:command');

Notice that my.foo is set prior to invoking my:command. When the implementing method for my:command is executed and it tries to use my.foo, it will receive a null value because the configuration my.foo was set during runtime.
