Calling action from command

Question

I want to perform an action from a custom command. The forward method Controller.php class provides this function, but I do not know access it from the execute () method of the command file

Answer 1

Making the controller a service will result in performance overhead because of the request stack, as it then should return a HttpResponse. The Request scope will not be very usefull in the command.

I'd advise you to refactor the action from the Controller to a separate service class definition, and get that class from the container in both the controller and the command by making it a ContainerAwareCommand.
