php artisan queue not showing anything

Question

I'm using laravel 5.0 and trying to set a queue for sending an email, I have created it and wrote code like. Queue::pushOn('emails', new SendEmail($user));
It's adding a row in the jobs table, then I'm running the following command

$ php artisan queue:listen

But it is not showing anything and not sending emails too.

Answer 1

Check out that you have in config/queue.php a connection with the name of emails because you are pushing to this queue with the method pushOn() . As a alternative, only push in the default queue using:

Queue::push(new SendEmail($user));

Answer 2

Be sure to try to:

config:clear
cache:clear
config:cache

And then:

php artisan queue:listen emails

Will listen for jobs in the emails queue.

Answer 3

Hay, I had this same issue, I had an error in my job code that's why it's stuck in queue:listen , to make sure there is no error in your job code.

you can put the following check in job handle() methfor the error.

public function handle()
{
  try{
   // your code here.
  } catch (\Exception $e) {
      dd($e->getMessage());
  }
}

then run.

$ php artisan queue:listen emails

Now, if there is an error in your code the error will display in the command line. Hope this can help you.
