SafeQueue

A Laravel Queue worker that's safe for use with Laravel Doctrine

When to use SafeQueue

• You use Laravel 5
• You use Laravel Doctrine
• Devops say the CPU usage of queue:listen is unacceptable
• You want to do php artisan queue:work --daemon without hitting cascading EntityManager is closed exceptions

Compatibility

Version	Supported Laravel Versions
0.1.*	5.1, 5.2
0.2.*	5.3

How it Works

SafeQueue overrides a small piece of Laravel functionality to make the queue worker daemon safe for use with Doctrine. It makes sure that the worker exits if the EntityManager is closed after an exception. For good measure it also clears the EM before working each job.

Installation

Install using composer

composer require maxbrokman/safe-queue

Once you've got the codez add the following to your service providers in app.php

MaxBrokman\SafeQueue\DoctrineQueueProvider::class

Usage

php artisan doctrine:queue:work  connection --daemon -sleep=3 --tries=3 ...

All options are identical to Laravel's own queue:work method.
