handle method

@override Future<void> handle(List<String> args)

Called automatically before executing the command. You can override to do pre-validation or setup.

Implementation

@override
Future<void> handle(List<String> args) async {
  const publicPath = 'public/storage';
  const storagePath = 'storage/app/public';

  final publicLink = Link(publicPath);
  final storageDir = Directory(storagePath);

  if (await publicLink.exists()) {
    logger.error('❌ The "public/storage" link already exists.');
    exitCode = 1;
    return;
  }

  if (!await storageDir.exists()) {
    await storageDir.create(recursive: true);
  }

  try {
    // Note: On Windows, this requires Developer Mode or Admin privileges
    await publicLink.create(storageDir.absolute.path);
    logger.info(
      '✅ The [public/storage] link has been connected to [storage/app/public].',
    );
    exitCode = 0;
  } catch (e) {
    logger.error('❌ Failed to create symbolic link: $e');
    logger.info(
      '💡 On Windows, you may need to run this command as Administrator or enable Developer Mode.',
    );
    exitCode = 1;
  }
}
