Trouble Configuring Laravel Queues with Redis in a Staging Environment for a Distributed Team
I'm collaborating on a project where I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me..... Currently developing a feature that requires asynchronous job processing in a Laravel application, and I've opted to use Redis for this purpose. However, while setting up the queue system in our staging environment, I ran into some roadblocks. We've got multiple services communicating through queues, and I need to ensure that jobs are processed reliably across different instances. Our `config/queue.php` has the following Redis settings: ```php 'connections' => [ 'redis' => [ 'driver' => 'redis', 'connection' => 'default', ], ], ``` But when I try to push jobs onto the queue using: ```php MyJob::dispatch($data); ``` It seems like the jobs aren't being picked up. I've verified that our Redis server is running and accessible from the staging server. Running `php artisan queue:work` results in the following output: ``` [2023-10-01 10:00:00] queue.WARNING: Queue worker has exited unexpectedly. ``` This happens even when I try to specify `--tries` for the job. I've also attempted to configure the Redis connection in `config/database.php` to match the queue settings. Additionally, I've explored the Laravel Horizon package to better manage our queues, but Iām uncertain how it integrates with the current configuration. Is there a specific setup required, or is there a recommended best practice for using Redis queues in a multi-instance setup? Also, during debugging, I've checked the Redis logs but found no indications of job push failures. Any insights on how we can ensure job processing works smoothly in our staging environment would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! This is part of a larger CLI tool I'm building. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Has anyone else encountered this?
