Laravel jobs pushed to Amazon SQS but not processing

Question

I'm running Laravel 5.3. I'm attempting to test a queue job, and I have my queue configured to use Amazon SQS. My app is able to push a job onto the queue, and I can see the job in SQS. But it stays there, never being processed. I've tried running php artisan queue:work, queue:listen, queue:work sqs... None of them are popping the job off the queue. I'm testing this locally with Homestead. Is there a trick to processing jobs from SQS?

Answer 1

I faced the same problem. I was using supervisor. This worked for me:

Mentioned queue driver in command (sqs):

command=php /var/www/html/artisan queue:work sqs --tries=3

Then ran these commands:

sudo supervisorctl reread

sudo supervisorctl update

sudo supervisorctl restart all
