Larvel Redis Batches not running in queue
I have the weird issue with redis. If i dispatch the job on a particiular queeu in this case "redis-dev" it will run with out issue. If i bath the job the batch gets created in the database, the job gets created in redis i can see it. It alwys shows pending, and when i run php artisan queue:monitor redis-dev it says there are no jobs even though i can clearly see the job in redis and it shows pending. I am using AWS elasticache so i have heard that can have issues, but all my other jobs that are not batch jobs all work without an issue.
I have been at wits end for the better part of a week now without any progress any help would be appreciated.

Sorry here is my code:
For the batch i am building it like this:
$batch = Bus::batch($jobs) ->allowFailures() ->then(function (Batch $batch) { $batch->delete(); })->catch(function (Batch $batch, Throwable $e){ Log::error('The Job: ' . $batch->failedJobIds[0] . ' has failed.'); }) ->name('Test Jobs for redis') ->onQueue('{redis-dev}' ->dispatch();
my queues are setup like this:
connections' => [ 'redis-dev' => [ 'driver' => 'redis', 'connection' => 'default', 'queue' => 'redis-dev', 'retry_after' => 1200, 'block_for' => null, 'after_commit' => false, ], ],
And my database Queue section is etup like this:
redis' => [
'client' => 'phpredis',
'options' => [
'cluster' => 'redis',
'prefix' => '{mmr}_',
'persistent' => false,
],
'default' => [
'host' => 'tls://dsfajfhsdfjkasdfh.serverless.use1.cache.amazonaws.com',
'username' => null,
'password' => null,
'port' => '6379',
'database' => '0',
'options' => [
'prefix' => '{mmr}_',
],
],
record in the porstgresql database in job_batches get created, i can see on redis where is also gets created.
but when i run php artisan queue:monitor redis-dev
what is how is:
Queue name ......................................................................................................................... Size / Status [default_redis] redis-dev ................................................................................................................. [0] OK Pending jobs ................................................................................................................................... 0 Delayed jobs ................................................................................................................................... 0 Reserved jobs .................................................................................................................................. 0
and the job never starts even though i can see it in redis. Also i have horizon running but no workers for this queue because i manually run the worker for this queue that is how i can see it in pending jobs.

->onQueue('{redis-dev}' ->dispatch();
Maybe a typo with { }? Shouldn't be this:
->onQueue('redis-dev')->dispatch();

Why you have 'connection' => 'default' while php artisan queue:monitor gives you other connection name: [default_redis]? There may be confusion here.
What else do you have in configs regarding queues/connection names? Is there anything in .env file?

Yeah sorry it's a typo.

The weird thing is if just change the queueu syste to database and use the jobs table in thdata base everything works. so it has to with redis i am sure of it.

I even just simplified everyting justused the default queue on redis to see if it woudl work.

I have the exact same problem. It processes fine with a database, but not with Redis.
