Request session() in Job (Exception: call to undefined method session())

Hey, I am trying to send a Mail, based on the sessions language value.

SendMailJob


public function handle()
    {
        $email = new HelloMail($this->user);
 
        if ($this->session()->has('lang') == 'en') {
            $language = 'en';
        } elseif ($this->session()->has('lang') == 'de') {
            $language = 'de';
        } else {
            $language = 'en';
        }

        Mail::to($this->user->email)->locale($language)->send($email);
    }

I am running into Call to undefined method HelloMail::session()

Any suggestions how to get the session()->has('lang') attribute?

Thank you

$this->session()?

Besides, there would be no session if the job was queued

Should be $request->session() ?

How could I solve it?

You should pass language while queueing job.

dispatch(new SendMailJob($request->session()->get('lang', 'en')));

public function __construct($lang)
{
    $this->lang = $lang;
}

public function handle()
{
    Mail::to($this->user->email)->locale($this->lang)->send(new HelloMail($this->user));
}

@Jurrien You don't know what are you talking about. This is job method, not controller one. These are fired from consumers having no access to session.
