Queue::failing Laravel 5

I have mine in

App\Providers\EventServiceProvider.php

    public function boot(DispatcherContract $events)
    {
        parent::boot($events);
        Queue::failing(function($connection, $job, $data)
        {
            Log::info('WARNING EVENT FAILED');
        });
    }

Thanks @Graham

I wasn't that far! I put in AppServiceProvider

I am using Laravel 5. 1 and I can never get this event to occur, either via Queue::failing inside the boot() method of AppServiceProvider.php, or EventServiceProvider.php, or even by calling the failed() method inside the actual job classes. This just doesn't work at all. Yet the job does get placed into the failed_jobs table so I know that part works. Has anyone else seen this behavior in Laravel 5.1?

@tuitionio Yes experiencing the same problem in Laravel 5.0. The failed method doesn't get fired.

@tuitionio & @nrmorgan Try this php artisan queue:listen --tries=2 this will try 2 times then fail the job if not success.

@tuitionio I'm in the same boat. I can't get either of these to fire.

please can anyone advise on this, having the issue now, failed() job doesn't seem to fire at all.

Hi there,

I did have some issues with failed jobs, so I would like to notify myself, if these happen once again. But wonder how to do that.

Here is my setup:

I simply have some event listeners implementing ShouldQueue, nothing else, and works fine. But where should I hook in in case a job fails?

Struggling at the same point.

Cheers

Christian

See docs here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/queues#failed-job-events

Best place is to wrap a catch-all in AppServiceProvider.php as shown in those docs above.

I had to remember to do:

php artisan queue:restart

In order for changes to take effect.
