Laravel 5.3 Mail not sending to queue job after submit data

Question

i had been trying to solve the queue mail for few days, but still i can't find the solution for that. Please look at my controller, job, mail

Controller

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Contact;
use App\Jobs\SendEmail;

class MailController extends Controller
{
public function getContact(){
    return view ('mail');
}

public function postContact(Request $request){

        $contact = new Contact;
        $contact->email = $request['email'];
        $contact->name = $request['name'];
        $contact->subject = $request['subject'];
        $contact->save(); 

        dispatch(new SendEmail($contact));
        return back();
}
}

job

<?php
namespace App\Jobs;
use App\Contact;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Mail\Mailer;
Use App\Mail\EmailContact;

class SendEmail implements ShouldQueue
{
use InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;

public $contact;

public function __construct(Contact $contact)
{
    $this->contact = $contact;
}

public function handle(Mailer $mailer)
{
    $email = new EmailContact($this->contact);
    $mailer->to($this->contact->email)->send($email);
}
}

Mail

<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use App\Contact;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

class EmailContact extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;

public $contact;
public function __construct(Contact $contact)
{
    $this->contact = $contact;
}

public function build()
{
    return $this->view('emails.contact')->with([
        'email' => $this->contact->email,
        'name' => $this->contact->name,
        'subject' => $this->contact->subject,
    ]);
}
}

After that i add php artisan queue:work But the result is still the same as using SEND. is there any wrong with my coding?

Answer 1

Implement ShouldQueue in your mailable class.

use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

class EmailContact extends Mailable implements ShouldQueue

Also verify your queue driver. By default laravel sets the queue driver to sync . Which means any queue jobs will run like normal code even if you are trying to queue it. You need to implement a queue first for it to work. Try database or redis queues.

QUEUE_DRIVER=sync
