I create a cron job on laravel 5.3 by editing app\Console\Kernel.php like this :

<?php
namespace App\Console;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
use DB;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{ protected $commands = [ // ]; protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule) { $schedule->call(function () { $id = 1; DB::table('orders') ->where('id', $id) ->update(['status ' => 2, 'canceled_at' => date("Y-m-d H:i:s")]); })->everyMinute(); } protected function commands() { require base_path('routes/console.php'); }
}

I tried to check on the table in the database, but it does not update

How can I test my cron job?
