"There are no commands defined in the "icons" namespace." when called via Widget Class

[thick birch]

I have created a custom widget to execute some commands like sitemap generation, build caches, nuke caches. However, I am getting a namespace error. I have tried referencing command class in Artisan::call() but it didn't help.

Here's my code

    public function buildCaches() : int
    {
        $exitCode = Artisan::call('filament:optimize');
        return $exitCode;
    }

    public function nukeCaches() : int
    {
        $exitCode = Artisan::call('filament:optimize-clear');
        return $exitCode;
    }

This seems to be problem with icon commands (caching & clearing), icons:cache called within filament:optimize
& icons:clear called within filament:optimize-clear.

"There are no commands defined in the "icons" namespace." when called via Widget Class

there is a condition for these commands its only run on console:
if ($this->app->runningInConsole())

so you'll need to register the command manually
in app.php

->withCommands([
    \BladeUI\Icons\Console\CacheCommand::class,
    \BladeUI\Icons\Console\ClearCommand::class,
])

hmmm... Why are they made to be run in console only?

[wintry yacht]

dont know 🙂 just checked the code and saw that

However, Another problem is running laravel offered optimize command.

Request takes very long time and when response is received, it breaks the page. Page is not interactble anymore. Trying to click buttons show error in console:

I have singled out the commands and it seems view:cache & config:cache are the one which cause the problem.

My guess is that trying to build the caches invalidates current page and hence causes problem.

[wintry yacht]

are you running these command from a the browser?

[thick birch]

Yes. From a filament widget.

[wintry yacht]

I guess that can make some errors, if you refresh the page it will work fine without errors right?
dont understand why you want the end user to run these commands kinda dangers, it should be run with the deployment

[thick birch]

Yes, If page is refreshed, it works fine.
It's an admin panel where we know what we are doing it. It's just in case thing.
I've done that previously for nova and custom pages of a custom backend.
Sometimes we do change some cached stuff and we need to clear and rebuild cache at those times.

[wintry yacht]

I understand the need to flush some cache, but cacheing the views, config, icons, kinda high level to be done, these will affect all active sessions
just my thoughts on the subject, I am sure you know what you're doing 🙂

you can refresh the page after running the action.

[thick birch]

Caching has destroyed me more than relationships... So I tend to clear all cache & rebuild all!

I've checked the exit code and it's 0. So it seems like my guess is correct, page needs to be refreshed after the action is done.
