Error related to AWS Sqs Queue in Laravel

Question

I get this error in laravel when trying to access Queue -

Class 'Aws\Sqs\SqsClient' not found

My default queue is 'sync' and I have not required 'Sqs' anywhere in my composer.json. Then why is this happening? Is it compulsory to include it in newer versions of Laravel.

Answer 1

First check value QUEUE_DRIVER in your .env file. In your case it must be equal to „sync“

QUEUE_DRIVER=sync

Than check your supervisor configuration file. Probably you forget to change this line:

command=php /my/app/dir/artisan queue:work **sqs** ...

to

command=php /my/app/dir/artisan queue:work **sync** ...

as it described here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/queues#supervisor-configuration
