How do I pass arguments to Laravel commands scheduled from the Kernel?

Question

In Laravel 10, I am trying to schedule multiple commands in the Kernel class. They use the same Command class/signature but send different arguments. I think I have followed the documentation correctly and I have tried both formats.

Kernel:

$schedule->command('import:markers Texas')->everyMinute(); 
OR
$schedule->command(ImportMarkers::class, ['Texas'])->everyMinute();

This works as expected:

php artisan import:markers Texas

But using the scheduler, I get a FAIL message for both styles of command:

php artisan schedule:run
2023-10-25 21:08:51 Running ['artisan' import:markers Texas] ......... 1,999ms FAIL
  ⇂ '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/php/8.2.4/bin/php' 'artisan' import:markers Texas > '/dev/null' 2>&1  

What am I missing?

This is how you can define your scheduled command in the Kernel.

$schedule->command('import:markers')
    ->appendOutputTo('import_markers.log') // Optional: Log the output to a file
    ->parameters(['Texas'])
    ->everyMinute();
