In Laravel 5.5, how to get the Job ID after we dispatch a job to the job queue?

Question

Until Laravel 5.4, the dispatch() method returned the queue job id.

$job = (new JobClass())->onQueue('queuename');
$jobId = dispatch($job);

dd($jobId); // prints the job id

In 5.5, it returns a PendingDispatch object, which does not seem to have a method to retrieve the job id.

I've already tried with dispatch_now(), but it executes the job immediately and synchronously, while I want it to be executed in the background.

After opening an issue at Laravel github, the solution was to use:

app(\Illuminate\Contracts\Bus\Dispatcher::class)->dispatch($job)

instead of

dispatch($job)

You might also consider using DispatchesJobs trait:

class MyClassName()
{
    use DispatchesJobs;

    ....

    $job = (new JobClass())->onQueue('queuename');

    $jobId = $this->dispatch($job);

This worked for me in Laravel 7. Very happy to have found a working solution. Note that I had to add this line near the top of the file: use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\DispatchesJobs; – Derrick Miller Aug 14 '20 at 14:55
