I am also interested in testing the execution of a scheduled task for development purposes. Something like:
```
# This does not work - do not copy ;)
php src/bin/console scheduled-task:run --name shopware.sitemap_generate
```

Hello, I would like to join in on this topic! Is there a possibility to execute only single tasks? Have you found a solution?
And if a task does not run, but is simply marked as „failed“ in the database - what is the best way to debug this? I have not found an error log anywhere.
Best regards, LA

You can check this table for ‚dead\_message‘ for error messages
Or use the following plugin

You certainly found the solution in the meantime, but for the records, with the following command you can run a single scheduled task:
```auto
bin/console scheduled-task:run-single
```
But in regards to debugging a failed job, I am also looking for help.
**What I know so far:**
When you can reproduce the bug in your local environment and you have Xdebug running, you can debug the task (let’s say `shopware.sitemap_generate`) by setting a breakpoint as usual and then running the single task as follows:
```auto
XDEBUG_SESSION=1 bin/console scheduled-task:run-single shopware.sitemap_generate
```
Review the log files might help. When Supervisor is running your scheduled tasks, there must be log files somewhere. By default they are located under `$CWD/supervisord.log` (see the [Supervisor docs](https://supervisord.org/configuration.html#supervisord-section-values)). Check the program definition for the actual location of your log files with `cat /etc/supervisor.d/.conf`.
I can strongly recommend the free [FroshTools plugin](https://github.com/FriendsOfShopware/FroshTools) which gives you a neat overview in your Shopware Administration. It allows you to comfortably run a specific task or change its interval or next execution time (see [screenshots](https://github.com/FriendsOfShopware/FroshTools?tab=readme-ov-file#screenshots)).
