Schedule between() not working as expected

Description

I wanted to convert old style cron expressions into the more readable fluent method format, but noticed that the between method when scheduling commands seems to not be doing anything.

I use the example from the docs (https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/scheduling#between-time-constraints):

        $schedule->command('emails:send')
            ->hourly()
            ->between('7:00', '22:00');

And launch php artisan schedule:list:

  0 * * * *    php artisan emails:send ......................... Next Due: in 8 Minutes

As you can see the configuration resolves itself to just hourly, is this a bug?

Steps To Reproduce

add

        $schedule->command('emails:send')
            ->hourly()
            ->between('7:00', '22:00');

to app\Console\Kernel.php and launch php artisan schedule:list

Laracasts user s4muel reports the bug is actually in the php artisan schedule:list a PR-fix for which Taylor refused.

Should I file a bug for the artisan command?

I manually converted my projects schedules into the fluent format from the hardly readable cron, and now I have no way to check if it's the same as it was.

Hello,

I have the same bug and I'm using Laravel 11.0.7 and PHP 8.3.4.

This is the output after launch php artisan schedule:list:

*/5 * * * * php artisan app:data:import ......................................Next Due: in 50 Seconds

This is the part of code in the route console configuration routes/console.php:

use App\Console\Commands\DataImport;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schedule;

Schedule::command(DataImport::class)
    ->everyFiveMinutes()
    ->between('9:00', '23:59')
    ->withoutOverlapping()
    ->emailOutputOnFailure(config('site.default_notice_email'));
