For the moment it's in beta, so there are perhaps some problems.

Hi,
I’m using Laravel 12.47.0 and trying to use the new background driver.
I added it to the queue.php config file because it wasn’t present, and I also registered \Illuminate\Concurrency\ConcurrencyServiceProvider::class in my providers.
However, when I dispatch a job like this: GenerateUsersReport::dispatch($report)->onConnection('background');
the job does not run. It only works if I remove ->onConnection('background').
What else do I need to configure in order to use this driver correctly?
Thank you.
