Consume Pusher events broadcast by Application A in Application B

Hi

I want to broadcast an event in application A using pusher as the broadcast driver. All this is working as i can see the message number increase in the pusher dashboard.

In application B i want to then consume these events using the worker queue and at the moment just log it to laravel log. once i know its working i can do what i need to.

Application A can broadcast and consume events - i have tested this

Application B can do the same and again i have tested this

Both are using the same pusher credentials

Application A is laravel 9 and Application B is version 11

What i cannot get to work is Application A broadcasts an event and then Application B consumes it.

Application A code

namespace App\Events;

use Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

class AllDone implements ShouldBroadcast
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;

    /**
     * Create a new event instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Get the channels the event should broadcast on.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel|array
     */
    public function broadcastOn()
    {
        return new Channel('channel-name');
    }
}

Where i broadcast the event

 event(new AllDone());

Application B

Here i created a class in the Events folder (but not an event via the cli) so i can then register it as the event to listen for in the EventServiceProvider

<?php

namespace App\Events;

use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

class AllDone
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;

    /**
     * Create a new event instance.
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }
}

The Listener class (created via the cli command )

<?php

namespace App\Listeners;

use App\Events\AllDone;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;

class HandleAllDone
{
    /**
     * Create the event listener.
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Handle the event.
     */
    public function handle(AllDone $event): void
    {
        //
        Log::info('AllDone received ');

    }
}

In EventServiceProvider

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\EventServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;

class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * The event to listener mappings for the application.
     *
     * @var array<class-string, array<int, class-string>>
     */
    protected $listen = [
        'App\Events\AllDone' => [
            'App\Listeners\HandleAllDone',
        ],
        'App\Events\TestEvent' => [
            'App\Listeners\HandleTestEvent',
        ],
    ];

    /**
     * Register any events for your application.
     */
    public function boot(): void
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Determine if events and listeners should be automatically discovered.
     */
    public function shouldDiscoverEvents(): bool
    {
        return false;
    }
}

then i run

php artisan queue:work

i have got it to the point where if i use pusher-js and livewire on application B (which i dont want to do ) as a test the event is logged however the above example gives an error

[2024-07-04 14:54:27] local.ERROR: Call to undefined method App\Events\AllDone::broadcastOn() {"exception":"[object] (Error(code: 0): Call to undefined method App\Events\AllDone::broadcastOn() at /Users/duckdivesurvive/Development/testapp/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Broadcasting/BroadcastEvent.php:79)

This error is clear as i created a basic class for the the event and not an actual event , not sure the work around or fix

I simply get no log messages , i dont need a web frontend for Application B it just needs to pick up the messages and process them.
