I need to run a very time consuming task asynchronous in Laravel 5.8. This is the .env file
...
QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync
QUEUE_DRIVER=redis
...
The queue driver must be Redis because the website uses Laravel-Echo with redis and socket.io to broadcast messages and I can't change queue driver to database.
This is the job I created
<?php
namespace App\Jobs;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;
class BroadcastRepeatJob implements ShouldQueue
{
use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new job instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
//
}
/**
* Execute the job.
*
* @return void
*/
public function handle()
{
sleep(30);
}
}
and this is the HomeController:
public function index()
{
BroadcastRepeatJob::dispatch()->onQueue("default");
dd(1);
...
}
and I also run the following artisan commands
php artisan queue:work
php artisan queue:listen
when I visit /index of HomeController I expect to see dd(1) immediately not after 30 seconds because the sleep(30) must be ran in a queue but this does not happen and I have to wait 30 seconds to see dd(1). How can I run the job in background asynchronous ?
Thanks in advance.
