Class 'Pheanstalk_Pheanstalk' not found in Laravel 4 with Beanstalk

Question

I'm trying to get beanstalk up and running and I'm getting the exception when trying to run Queue::push():

Class 'Pheanstalk_Pheanstalk' not found

I've run composer require pda/pheanstalk, and even regenerated my auto-load file an extra time.

It's happening in ./vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/Connectors/BeanstalkdConnector.php

Any ideas?

Answer 1

In composer.json, replace the pda/pheanstalk requirement line by

"pda/pheanstalk": "2.0.*"

Run

composer update

Warning: will also update Laravel.

Answer 2

Disregard. Found the answer at https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/746. Apparently the newest version has been reorganized or something.

Answer 3

You may be using pheanstalk 3 which didn't work for me with Laravel 4. Use this command to switch to an older version:

composer require pda/pheanstalk "~2.1"
