Why are my recurring tasks or reminders not triggering?

Answer: Check that your cron job is running. Recurring tasks rely on Laravel's scheduler to process due tasks.

Required Cron Job:

Add this to your server's crontab:

* * * * * php /path/to/taskify/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Verification Steps:

1. Check if cron is running:

   crontab -l

2. Test the scheduler manually:

   php artisan schedule:run

3. Check Laravel logs:

   tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log

4. Verify task scheduling:

   php artisan schedule:list

Common Issues:

• Cron job not added to crontab
• Incorrect path to artisan file
• PHP not in PATH for cron
• Permission issues
• Timezone configuration problems

Debugging:

Enable verbose logging in your .env file:

LOG_LEVEL=debug

This will help you see what's happening with your scheduled tasks.
