Laravel Excel Queued Job Not Working/Not Starting Export
Hi,
This is my current code
return Excel::download(new BasicReportExport($data, count($headings), count($devices)), 'WW-' . $orgName . '-Device_Health-' . $startDate . '.xlsx');
Which I changed to
(new BasicReportExport($data, count($headings), count($devices)))->queue('WW-' . $orgName . '-Device_Health-' . $startDate . '.xlsx');
return back()->withSuccess('Export started!');
In my BasicReportExport I added use Exportable and included the package. Now when I press the button to queue the job instead of downloading I get nothing. Any idea how I can debug if the job is getting queued? Laravel Logs return no errors.

@SilenceBringer apologies but I've never used queues in Laravel before and it was not mentioned in this guide. How can I set up a queue in Laravel please? Which is appropriate for this task.

@lukegalea16 queue works on laravel side, laravel-excel just add the job to the queue
Laravel docs about queue: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/queues
Running worker: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/queues#running-the-queue-worker

instead of downloading I get nothing
just hangs, or returns 'export started' ?
how does the user get the report now you converted to a job?
Have you looked in the laravel logs?
can you show your BasicReportExport file?
