Cannot run Cloudfoundry Task - Unexpected Response 404

Question

After my app is successfully pushed via cf I usually need do manually ssh-log into the container and execute a couple of PHP scripts to clear and warmup my cache, potentiall

Answer 1

This is not a CF CLI issue. Swisscom Application Cloud does not yet support the Cloud Foundry tasks. This explains the 404 you are currently receiving. We will expose this feature of Cloud Foundry in an upcoming release of Swisscom Application Cloud.

In the meantime, maybe you can find a way to execute your one-off tasks (cache warming, DB migrations) at application startup.

Answer 2

As mentioned by @Mathis Kretz Swisscom has gotten around to enable cf run-task since this question was posted. They send out e-mails on 22. November 2018 to announce the feature.

As discussed on your linked documentation you use the following commands to manage tasks:

cf tasks [APP_NAME]
cf run-task [APP_NAME] [COMMAND]
cf terminate-task [APP_NAME] [TASK_ID]
