Queue: delay dispatching throws error

I'm trying to delay the dispatching of the job:

dispatch(new App\Jobs\ProcessOrder($orderData))->delay(10);

but get the following error:

Call to a member function delay() on integer

I think this is a limitation of the dispatch() helper function. That function, returns a new PendingDispatch object, but the constructor of the PendingDispatch class does not return the object, so I don't think you will be able to chain method calls on it.

You might be able to do ProcessOrder::dispatch($orderData)->delay(10) instead, or something along those lines.

What version of Laravel are you on?

Or what does the ProcessOrder job look like?
