Using external function inside Task

[MeerKatDev]

I can't run a function from Inside the Task:

trace: [{file: "/Users/pro/Work/lookinglass-backend/vendor/spatie/async/src/Process/ParallelProcess.php",…},…]
0: {file: "/Users/pro/Work/lookinglass-backend/vendor/spatie/async/src/Process/ParallelProcess.php",…}

6: {file: "/Users/pro/Work/lookinglass-backend/app/Traits/Scraper.php", line: 91, function: "wait",…}

I have this simple task:

  class CacheOperation extends Task {
      public function __construct($id, $fun)
      {
          $this->id = $id;
          $this->fun = $fun;
      }

      public function configure(): void { }

      public function run(): void
      {
        $this->fun($this->id);
      }
  }

and I'm trying to use it like that:

$pool->add(new CacheOperation($id, function($id){ return $ref->searchOrGetCustomer($id); }));

where $ref is a reference to the calling class. I wanted to pass $ref inside the task through the constructor, but it was saying that the class is not serializable, so I tried to pass only the function inside, but it still won't run. How is Task supposed to be used?

You shouldn’t have a closure inside your Task instance, this is the sense of a Task. You have to encapsulate the logic inside the Task

As I wrote in the issue, that was my first try, using it normally, but it was throwing back that the class is not serializable.
