Magento2 Passing Custom Parameters to Cron Jobs

Question

How to pass custom arguments/parameters for cron jobs in Magento2.

I found an article related to this for Magento 1.x, I am trying to figure out how to do the same for Magento 2.x

Answer 1

Try to use \Magento\Cron\Model\Schedule class as a parameter. And, use \Magento\Cron\Model\Config to get the config. (Not yet test)

/**
  * Cron job config
  *
  * @var \Magento\Cron\Model\Config
  */

protected $config;

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Cron\Model\Config $config
) {
      $this->config = $config; 
}


public function execute(\Magento\Cron\Model\Schedule $schedule)
{
    $jobsRoot = $this->config->getJobs()
    ....
}

If the first way cannot work, we should try to inject \Magento\Cron\Model\Schedule on the constructor.

There is no "parameters" field in the cron_schedule table by default Magento. Refer How to pass parameters to Magento 2 crons
