Laravel queue stops randomly without exception - database

Question

I have a laravel queue setup with a
database
Connection. Note this problem is also on redis. But i am currently using the database connection for the
failed_jobs
Table to help me check any errors that occur during the queue process.
The problem i have is that the queue stops working after a few jobs without any message showing why. But when i restart the command (php artisan queue:work) it picks up the remaining jobs. And continues. (But stops again later)
The job is configured with these values
public $tries = 1;
public $timeout = 10;
The job code is, (Not original code)
public function handle()
{
try {
$file = //function to create file;
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip->open(//zip_path);
$zip->addFile(//file_path, //file_name);
$zip->close();
#unlink(//remove file);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
Log::error($e);
}
}
And the failed function is setup like this:
public function failed(\Exception $exception)
{
Log::error($exception);
$this->fail($exception);
$this->delete();
}
But my there is no failed_job row, And my log is empty
Edit: I added simple info logs after every line of code. And every time i start the queue, It stops after the last line. So the code runs correct. So laravel doesn't start the new job after that

Answer 1

so what you need here to solve the issue is to do the following steps :
go to bootstrap/cache/ remove all file .PHP
go to the src and run php artisan queue:restart
Now after adding the snippet, we need to trigger the following commands respectively:
sudo supervisorctl reread (to check the file content and make sure
that the snippet is correctly set)
sudo supervisorctl update (release the config changes under the supervisor)
sudo supervisorctl restart all (re-trigger the queues so that the newly created queue gets initialized and start picking up messages respectively)

Answer 2

Did you tried queue:listen ?
php artisan queue:listen
Also i guess you need the Supervisor to keep your worker alive.
