Php artisan queue:listen throws "Call to undefined method Redis::transaction()" with phpredis

Hello everyone,

This is my first post so let me know if I can provide more info.

I use :

• laravel 5.0.33
• phpredis
• phpredis service provider found here : https://github.com/vetruvet/laravel-phpredis

I have the following configuration :

In app.php

Providers
'App\MyProviders\PhpRedisServiceProvide'

Aliases
'PhpRedis'  => 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis',

In queue.php

        'redis' => [
            'driver' => 'redis',
            'queue'  => 'default',
            'connection' => 'default',
            'expire' => 60,
        ],

In database.php

'redis' => [
        'cluster' => false,
        'default' => [
            'host'       => '192.168.33.100',
            'port'       => 6379,
            'prefix'     => '',
            'database'   => 0,
            'timeout'    => 0,
            'serializer' => 'igbinary',
            'persistent' => false
        ],

Jobs are pushed successfully in queues but when I try to start a queue, I get the following error :

$ php artisan queue:listen --queue=images --tries=3
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method Redis::transaction() in /var/www/app/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/RedisQueue.php on line 179
[2015-08-31 20:04:49] local.ERROR: exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException' with message 'Call to undefined method Redis::transaction()' in /var/www/app/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/RedisQueue.php:179 Stack trace: 
#0 {main}
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
Call to undefined method Redis::transaction()

The following code works :

$redis = PhpRedis::connection();
$redis->set('name', 'Dave');
$name = $redis->get('name');

Cache::forever('name', 'Dave');
$name = Cache::get('name');

Queue::push('MyService@test', array(
   'test'   => 'content'
), 'myqueue');

Thank you for the help.
