Magento – Custom cron job status always pending

cronmagento-2.2.1PHP

I created a custom cron job in my custom module. But, when I check the cron schedule, it's all in pending and don't work at all like in the picture below. Does that mean there's error on my cron job?

Cron Job schedule :

crontab.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Cron:etc/crontab.xsd">
    <group id="custom_crongroup">
        <job name="custom_cronjob" instance="Test\Show\Cron\Test" method="execute">
            <schedule>* * * * *</schedule>
        </job>
    </group>
</config>

Cron/Test.php :

<?php
namespace Test\Show\Cron;
use \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;

class Test {
    protected $logger;

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

/**
   * Write to system.log
   *
   * @return void
   */

    public function execute() {
        $this->logger->info('Cron Works');
    }

}

Check the cron log for any errors. Make sure var/log folder have 777 permissions. If you still didn't find any solution, paste your crontab.xml file and the file your running.

Magento 1.8 – Update Order Status Using Cron Job

There are a few things that seem to need correcting:

The xml is calling the wrong function

<run><model>orders/status::cron</model></run>

This line says to look in the orders module (though that it is a bit of an oversimplification) and look for a Model called Status and run the cron() function

What you probably want to do is change the line to this:

<run><model>orders/status::updateOrderStatus</model></run>

The updateOrderStatus() function does not have access to your orders

Even though the function has a parameter called $order it does not act like an observer where the object is there automatically.

In other words: the order collection needs to be loaded with the following code:

Mage::getResourceModel('sales/order_collection');

The collection should be narrowed to what you need (see below).

The function should end up looking like this:

public function updateOrderStatus()
{
    // lets get all the orders that their status is 'pending'
    $orders = Mage::getResourceModel('sales/order_collection')
         ->addFieldToFilter('status', 'pending');
     // loop through each order, set the new status and try to save, if it fails, log why (this way we'll know)
     foreach($orders as $order){
            $order->setOrderStatus(self::STATUS_PACKING);
            try{
                $order->save();
                }catch(Exception $e){
                  Mage::log('Couldn\'t save order' . $order->getId());
                  Mage::log($e->getMessage());
                 }
      }
}

Magento – Cron job always “missed”

Please Try This

It looks like you're using the default Magento cron.

If you want the AOE Scheduler to work you need to use the scheduler's cron instead - e.g.:

*/5 * * * * /bin/sh -f /home/cpanel_user/public_html/scheduler_cron.sh

FYI - the "heartbeat" task is a very lightweight cron job that runs every time, simply reporting that the scheduler is running. If your message is showing you that the heartbeat couldn't be found it likely means either that your cron isn't configured correctly, or there's a lock in place. You can try removing var/locks and the scheduler's lock which normally lives in /tmp if this is the case.

Hope It's helpful for any one.
