I have a job that works flawless locally, but in production I run into issues where it doesn't work. I've encompassed the entire handle() with a try/catch and am not seeing anything logged to Bugsnag, despite many other exceptions elsewhere from being deployed.

public function handle() 
 try 

 // do stuff

 catch (Exception $e) 
 Bugsnag::notifyException($e);

 throw $e;
 

According to Laravel Horizon this queue job runs for 0.0026001930236816406 seconds and I never see it work and never see any other errors in the failed_jobs table as it relates to this job.

config/queue.php

 'redis' => [
 'driver' => 'redis',
 'connection' => 'default',
 'queue' => 'default',
 'retry_after' => (60 * 10), // 10 minutes
 'block_for' => null,
 ],

config/horizon.php

'environments' => [
 'production' => [
 'supervisor' => [
 'connection' => 'redis',
 'queue' => [
 'default',
 ],
 'balance' => 'auto',
 'processes' => 10,
 'tries' => 3,

 // 10 seconds under the queue's retry_after to avoid overlap
 'timeout' => (60 * 10) - 10, // Just under 10 mins
 ],

If something is causing this job to retry over and over, how can I find out how? I'm at a loss.

Investigation thus far

• My expectation is I should be able to run the query:

SELECT DISTINCT exception, COUNT(id) as errors
FROM failed_jobs 
WHERE payload LIKE '%[TAG-JOB-HAS]%' 
GROUP BY exception;

To see more than this error message:

Job has been attempted too many times or run too long

but that's all I see.

• 
  Laravel Horizon's dashboard shows the job in question is running for < 1 second, so I know it's not actually timing out.

Try to catch the exception in failed method given by laravel

/**
 * The job failed to process.
 *
 * @param Exception $exception
 * @return void
 */
 public function failed(Exception $exception)
 
 // Send user notification of failure, etc...
 

and check whether your default queue driver in local is sync then its expected behaviour

According to documentation, you can handle job failing in two common ways:

• using failed job events


• using failed() method.

In first case you can handle all jobs using Queue::failing method. You'll receive IlluminateQueueEventsJobFailed event as a parameter, and it contains exception.

In other case you can use failed() method, it should be placed near your handle() method. You can receive Exception $exception as a parameter too.

Example:

public function failed(Throwable $exception)

 // Log failure

Hope this helps.
