File System

To create a Sugar console extension, please refer to our CLI documentation.

Module Loadable Package

When building a module loadable package, you can use the $installdefs['console'] index to install the extension file.

Installdef Properties

The example below demonstrates the proper install definition that should be used in the ./manifest.php file in order to add the console command. 

./manifest.php

<?php

$manifest = array(
    ...
);

$installdefs = array (
  'id' => 'console_Example',
  'console' => array(
      array(
          'from' => '<basepath>/Files/custom/Extension/application/Ext/Console/RegisterHelloWorldCommand.php'
      )
  ),
  'copy' => array (
    0 => array (
      'from' => '<basepath>/Files/custom/src/Console/Command/HelloWorldCommand.php',
      'to' => 'custom/src/Console/Command/HelloWorldCommand.php',
    ),
  ),
);

Alternatively, you may use the $installdefs['copy'] index to copy the file. When using this approach, you may need to manually run repair actions such as a Quick Repair and Rebuild. For more information on the $installdefs['copy'] index and module-loadable packages, please refer to the Introduction to the Manifest page.
