Hello ,
when I try to use : php artisan queue:work connection --daemon
I have this error bellow:
should I install something ?
InvalidArgumentException : No connector for []
at /home/vagrant/code/crm/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/QueueManager.php:172
168| */
169| protected function getConnector($driver)
170| {
171| if (! isset($this->connectors[$driver])) {
> 172| throw new InvalidArgumentException("No connector for [$driver]");
173| }
174|
175| return call_user_func($this->connectors[$driver]);
176| }
Exception trace:
1 Illuminate\Queue\QueueManager::getConnector()

.env
BROADCAST_DRIVER=log
CACHE_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_CONNECTION=database

Double check in the queue.php file if there is a database connection like this
'database' => [
'driver' => 'database',
'table' => 'jobs',
'queue' => 'default',
'retry_after' => 60,
],
Also try running config:clear to make sure no config has been cached!
Yes :

Did you clear your config as well?
The only reason you can get this error is whenever your .env returns null.
In your .evn
QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync
Any fix?
