How to require a core module in my module (LazyCron)?

[JayGee]

I'm building a custom module for project that will leverage LazyCron.

I can't seem to find how you tell your module that LazyCron is required?

I've tried adding the following to my getModuleInfo()

'requires' => [
	'LazyCron'
],

and have also tried adding the following that ChatGPT suggested... but not sure if it has made up this syntax as I've not seen it before?!

'requires' => [
	'ProcessWire:LazyCron'
],

Either way I get the error:
ProcessModule: Error reported by web service: That module is not currently tracked by the modules directory

 

In an ideal world I'd just enable the core module from my own module, is this possible?

You just need to call wire()->modules->get('LazyCron') somewhere in your module, then LazyCron will automatically be installed.

Let's have a look here in the docs:

<?php
public static function getModuleInfo() {
   return array(
       'title' => 'Hello World',
       'version' => 101,
       'author' => 'Ryan Cramer',
       'summary' => 'Just an example',
       'requires' => array("LazyCron", "AdminBar")  // added this line
       ); 
);

Nice thanks @bernhard - never realised it was that simple.
