- apiVersion: batch/v1beta1
  kind: CronJob

    labels:
      chart: cronjobs-0.1.0
    name: cron-cronjob1
    namespace: default

    failedJobsHistoryLimit: 1
    jobTemplate:      
      spec:
        template:

              cron: cronjob1
          spec:

              command: ["/usr/local/bin/php"]
              args: ["artisan bulk:import"]
              env:

              - name: DB_HOST
                value: postgres
              - name: DB_PORT
                value: "5432"
              - name: DB_DATABASE
                value: xxx

              name: cronjob1

              - containerPort: 80
                name: http
                protocol: TCP              
            imagePullSecrets:
            - name: xxxxx
            restartPolicy: OnFailure          
            terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 30
    schedule: '* * * * *'
    successfulJobsHistoryLimit: 3

I am getting following error when cronjob scheduler spin up a pod

Could not open input file: artisan bulk:import

How to resolve this?

is this file `artisan bulk:import` exist? – Nick Rak Nov 20 '18 at 15:18 — Nick Rak, Nov 20 '18 at 15:18

Assuming file artisan exists and php can execute it:

command: ["/usr/local/bin/php"]
args: ["artisan", "bulk:import"]

This way there will be two arguments passed to php instead of one which php assumes is the file to execute.
