How to execute Zend Framework 3 action with zf-console?

Question

I want to execute ZF3 action with zf-console.
I can do this using zend-mvc-console module and it works fine.
For example.
Application/config/module.config.php:

'console' => [
    'router' => [
        'routes' => [
            'cronroute' => [
                'options' => [
                    'route'    => 'sync',
                    'defaults' => [
                        'controller' => Controller\ConsoleController::class,
                        'action' => 'syncEvents'
                    ]
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ]
],

Application/src/Controller/ConsoleController.php

class ConsoleController extends AbstractActionController 
{
    /**
     * Entity manager.
     * @var Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager
     */
    private $entityManager;

    /**
     * User Manager
     * @var Application\Service\UserManager 
     */
    private $userManager;

    /**
     * Constructor. 
     */
    public function __construct($entityManager, $userManager)
    {
        $this->entityManager = $entityManager;
        $this->userManager = $userManager;
    }

    public function syncAction() 
    {
        $response = $this->userManager->syncUserInfo();

        return $response ? 'Sync Success' : 'Failed to sync';
    }
}

But it says that it will be deprecated:
https://zendframework.github.io/zend-mvc-console/intro/#deprecated

It suggest to use zf-console from zfcampus:
https://github.com/zfcampus/zf-console

But I cannot find a way to execute Controller action or to use my build services (like UserManager).

There is example to build Zend Application and retrieve Service manager:

use Zend\Console\Console;
use Zend\Console\ColorInterface as Color;
use ZF\Console\Application;
use ZF\Console\Dispatcher;

chdir(dirname(__DIR__));

require __DIR__  . '/../vendor/autoload.php'; // Composer autoloader 

$application = Zend\Mvc\Application::init(require 'config/application.config.php');
$services    = $application->getServiceManager();

$buildModel = $services->get('My\BuildModel');

Is there a way to execute Controller action with it? Or Can I load my UserManager service?
I tried to get My UserManager:

$buildModel = $services->get('Application\Service\UserManager');

But receiving error:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Zend\ServiceManager\Exception\ServiceNotFoundException' with message 'Unable to resolve service "Application\Service\UserManager" to a factory; are you certain you provided it during configuration?' in /var/www/html/vendor/zendframework/zend-servicemanager/src/ServiceManager.php:687

The zend-mvc-console module does seem to be on the edge of deprecation. Just like you I was trying to implement zfcampus/zf-console. Since the mvc-console module seems to be (almost) deprecated, I suggest you use something different than (mvc) controllers for your console work. I used a class that can handle the call (in a way zf-console expects).

This is a dummy example I was working on for my project;

This is script that is called on the command line:

use Zend\Console\Console;
use Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceManager;
use Zend\Stdlib\ArrayUtils;
use Zend\Stdlib\Glob;
use ZF\Console\Application;
use ZF\Console\Dispatcher;

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; // Composer autoloader

$configuration = [];
foreach (Glob::glob('config/{{*}}{{,*.local}}.php', Glob::GLOB_BRACE) as $file) {
    $configuration = ArrayUtils::merge($configuration, include $file);
}

// Prepare the service manager
$smConfig = isset($config['service_manager']) ? $configuration['service_manager'] : [];
$smConfig = new \Zend\Mvc\Service\ServiceManagerConfig($smConfig);

$serviceManager = new ServiceManager();
$smConfig->configureServiceManager($serviceManager);
$serviceManager->setService('ApplicationConfig', $configuration);

// Load modules
$serviceManager->get('ModuleManager')->loadModules();

$routes = [
    [
        'name' => 'dumb',
        'route' => '[--foo=]',
        'description' => 'Some really cool feature',
        'short_description' => 'Cool feature',
        'options_descriptions' => [
            'foo'   => 'Lorem Ipsum',
        ],
        'defaults' => [
            'foo'   => 'bar',
        ],
        'handler' => function($route, $console) use ($serviceManager) {
            $handler = new \Application\Command\DumbCommand();
            return $handler($route, $console);
        }
    ],
];

$config = $serviceManager->get('config');
$application = new Application(
    $config['app'],
    $config['version'],
    $routes,
    Console::getInstance(),
    new Dispatcher()
);

$exit = $application->run();
exit($exit);

The handler function can use the service manager to inject any dependencies to the command handler:

'handler' => function($route, $console) use ($serviceManager) {
    /** @var \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager $entityManager */
    $entityManager = $serviceManager->get(\Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager::class);
    /** @var mixed $repository */
    $contactRepository = $entityManager->getRepository(\Application\Entity\Contact::class);
    $handler = new \Application\Command\DumbCommand($contactRepository);
    return $handler($route, $console);
}

The command class is placed in a Command folder, it looks like:

<?php

namespace Application\Command;

use Application\Entity\Contact;
use Application\Repository\ContactRepository;
use Zend\Console\Adapter\AdapterInterface;
use ZF\Console\Route;

class DumbCommand
{
    /** @var ContactRepository */
    private $contactRepository;

    public function __construct($contactRepository)
    {
        $this->contactRepository = $contactRepository;
    }

    /**
     * @param Route $route
     * @param AdapterInterface $console
     * @throws \Doctrine\ORM\ORMException
     */
    public function __invoke(Route $route, AdapterInterface $console)
    {
        $console->writeLine('Bob was here');
        foreach ($this->contactRepository->findAll() as $item) {
            /** @var Contact $item */
            $console->writeLine($item->getFirstName() . ' was here');
        }
    }
}

(

Thanks, it worked me and able to use my services and entityManager. — mindteam, Jun 19 '18 at 13:57
It asks "Are you providing factory for \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager"? — Ali Rasheed, Dec 17 '18 at 10:33

This is my solution:

I addedd console command routes to my module.config.php files

'console' => array(
    'commands' => array(
        array(
            'name' => 'sendemail',
            'handler' => PostCommand::class,
        ),
        array(
            'name' => 'sendsms',
            'handler' => SmsTransferCommand::class,
        )
    )
),

I created a console.php in /public (this will be run with arguments to start a CLI app)

use Zend\Console\Console;
use Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceManager;
use ZF\Console\Application;
use ZF\Console\Dispatcher;

chdir(dirname(__DIR__));

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Composer autoloader

// Prepare application and service manager
$appConfig = require 'config/application.config.php';
$application = Zend\Mvc\Application::init($appConfig);
$serviceManager = $application->getServiceManager();

// Load modules
$serviceManager->get('ModuleManager')->loadModules();
$config = $serviceManager->get('config');
$routes = $config['console']['commands']; // This depends on your structure, this is what I created (see. 1.)

$application = new Application(
    $config['app'],
    $config['version'],
    $routes,
    Console::getInstance(),
    new Dispatcher($serviceManager)  // Use service manager as a dependency injection container
);

$exit = $application->run();
exit($exit);

I separated my CLI command handlers into the src/Command folder. My CLI command handlers are services I have defined, created by factories. (This is why I use the service manager as the container - see. 2.)

[serviceEmail here is a local class variable, which is loaded by the factory of this command handler.]

/**
 * @param Route            $route
 * @param AdapterInterface $console
 *
 * @return int
 */
public function __invoke(Route $route, AdapterInterface $console)
{
    $mails = $this->serviceEmail->sendMailFromDb();
    $console->writeLine('Sent mails: ' . \count($mails), ColorInterface::WHITE, ColorInterface::RED);
    return 0;
}

It does not work for me. My command also has a factory. But it uses not the factory, it instantiated directly my command class. — bitkorn, Jul 29 '19 at 08:22
@bitkorn I think there must be something wrong with the service/factory config. If you look at and perhaps debug the Dispatcher.php dispatch function of the zf-campus/zf-console library you can get closer. Do you cache module config? If yes, have you deleted it? — Mark, Aug 12 '19 at 11:53
