Redis queues in Laravel with Homestead

Question

I'm trying to use Redis for my queues.

Currently I'm on Homestead and I run php artisan queue:work --daemon --tries=3 in my virtual machine.

To test queues I write something in the log. When I use the sync driver, the logger can write, but it cannot when I use the redis one.

I also checked out the running processes and the redis-server is running, what's wrong?

Answer 1

Run redis-cli monitor and see if it shows anything being added when you push to the queue.

If nothing shows up, it means the queue isn't actually talking to redis.
