Well, I solved it by creating a delayed job that then creates the batch jobs.

Well, I guess that is the same as "plan your job 120s later? (It's not always 120s btw)

P.S. How do I close the subject?

Well, I solved it by creating a delayed job that then creates the batch jobs.

Hmmm, in what loops would that be?

The code is pretty straight forward and very similar to the example in the docs:

        $jobs = [];
	// $recipients is at the moment only 1 item
        foreach ($recipients as $destination) {
            
            $jobs[] = new MasscreationJob($destination);
        }

        
        $batch = Bus::batch($jobs)->then(function(BatchJob $batch) {
            // All jobs completed successfully...
        })->catch(function (BatchJob $batch, Throwable $e) {
            // First batch job failure detected...
            // Notify admin of errors...
            $this->masscreation->status = Masscreation::STATUS_ERRORS;
            $this->masscreation->error_message = $e->getMessage();
            $this->masscreation->save();

        })->finally(function (BatchJob $batch) {
            // The batch has finished executing...
            // Notify admin masscreation is complete
            $this->masscreation->status = Masscreation::STATUS_DONE;
            $this->masscreation->save();

        })->onQueue('batches');

        if (isset($this->masscreation->request_data['name'])) {
            $batch->name($this->masscreation->request_data['name']);
        }

        $batch->dispatch();

Thanks for replying!

I've already set the memory_limit = 2G which should be high enough. Especially when running so small batches. I can't see anything in the docs that this should require extra memory capacity from the server or anything like that. And why are the closures such "memory thieves"?

I'm having problems with the callbacks for Batch Jobs.

Trying to run a batch job like in the example on https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/queues#dispatching-batches But whenever I add something in the callbacks I get a PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /Users/niklaspalmqvist/git-projects/kupongsupport-laravel/vendor/opis/closure/src/SerializableClosure.php on line 417.

Deleting anything inside then(), catch() or finally() solves the problem but that kinda takes away the benefits of batches.

Testing with just a log statement inside the closures but fails every time.

When testing I'm only running batches with 1-5 jobs in them and they run fine when I run them without callbacks so it shouldn't be a problem.

Anyone else ran in to this problem or has a solution for this?

Hi!

Been playing around with Laravel 8 and the Job Batches. I think it's a great function but something that I'm missing is the functionality to delay the jobs as you can on the standard queue jobs (->delay(120)).

Is this not possible at all with Batches or am I missing something here? If not, does anyone have a workaround for this?
