Run Laravel Scheduled Tasks on Windows

The following are instructions for running scheduled tasks defined in a Laravel project on Windows. The Laravel documentation provides instructions for running scheduled tasks using cron jobs on Linux systems. However, cron jobs are not available on Windows. The built-in Windows Task Scheduler can be used to run scheduled tasks instead.

Create a Scheduled Task

Open Task Scheduler
Select Create Task...
Give the task a name and description
To run the task in the background, select Run whether the user is logged on or not and check the Hidden checkbox.

Mysqldump from Docker container

docker exec -i mysql_container mysqldump -uroot -proot --databases database_name --skip-comments > /path/to/my/dump.sql

OBS

This will generate a dump.sql file in your host machine. Awesome, eh?
Avoid using --compact on your dump. This will make MySQL check your constraints which will cause troubles when reading your file (damm you MySQL). And don't use --force to fix this scenario: recreate your dump without --compact ¯_(ツ)_/¯
