php artisan queue:work freeze in terminal

Question

I use the queue in my Laravel 5.4 project to send emails in background. I have created the table for jobs, created the class for the job, and put QUEUE_DRIVER=database in my .env file. When I dispatch my Job, I can see my task in the jobs table. So far so good.

However, when I then execute the command php artisan queue:work on the webserver - it's freezing and not have any results.

What could be the problem?

This probably is because this is a service that uses the current thread in Ubuntu (from your tag). If you add a &, the process will run in a forked thread.

php artisan queue:work &

Or after a quick google, you can have a look at

nohup php artisan queue:work --daemon &

You shouldn't run the queue worker like this though, you should really be using supervisor – Mike Harrison Jan 08 '19 at 18:55
