PHP Fatal error: method_exists(): The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object Laravel 5.3

Question

The problem is that I have two Laravel projects working on Laravel 5.1 and 5.3 and sharing common database. Both projects are placed on different subdomains up and running. Now while using queue driver as database for both projects I am using 5.3 demon to run on 5.1 queued jobs I am getting following error.

PHP Fatal error:  method_exists(): The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition "App\Jobs\StoreAppliedjob" of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ unserialize() gets called or provide a __autoload() function to load the class definition  in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/admin-badiyajobs/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/CallQueuedHandler.php on line 83

The 5.1 queue is working fine when run with queue listener on 5.1 . Note that I can't use separate cron on both projects to process queue as that will mess up everything. Please suggest what should I do ?

Answer 1

The queue serializes the Job before sending it to the queue and unserializes it when it's handled. You'll need the App\Jobs\StoreAppliedjob on the location where it's being handled.
