Redis Queue Failed Job is being logged to MySQL

Question

Queue driver is set to use Redis

QUEUE_DRIVER=redis

With

php /opt/artisan queue:work --tries=1 --queue="data-ingestion-default" --daemon

The error, we receive is

[2016-09-14 08:32:40] lumen.ERROR: InvalidArgumentException: Database

It appears that the error is due to the Worker attempting to log the failed job to a mysql database.

However, we are not using MySQL in this instance, and if we were in config/database.php there is no 'mysql' in connection, and the default db is called 'development'.

Answer 1

In config/queue.php take a look at failed config the default is:

'failed' => [
        'database' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),
        'table'    => 'failed_jobs',
    ],

change it to use redis

you can see the whole config file in the github reop laravel/config/queue.php

edit: anyone reading this, this answer is not correct sorry, I cant delete accepted answer

Answer 2

you can not do it with redis driver. However, if you use Laravel Horizon, Horizon will automatically save your failed jobs in Redis
