I have a program that processes several import files at a time. Problem is after 1 minute the gateway times out and kills the processes. To get around this I am using batching. It creates the batch just fine the only problem is I can't detach from the batch and return back to the browser "Batch Started". Here is my code where I start the batch:

            $files = self::prepare_files($request);

            // Lets batch this call
            $batch = Bus::batch([
                new ImportJob($files),
            ])
            ->then(function (Batch $batch) use($files) {
                //This is not really needed
            })
            ->dispatch();

            return "Batch Started";

The code starts up and I can see it running in the MySQL job_batches table in my database and watch it update. It doesn't hit the return statement until after the batch process finishes running. So with an import that lasts 5 minutes, the gateway times out after 1 minute and it can't move forward. If I can get it to drop off and truly run in the background I would have it made since I can return the batch ID and let the browser call another endpoint to monitor the batch, return results, etc...

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend on this.

  • Interesting. I will have to look at that to see if it will work for my situation. Only issue I see there is that takes it out of the Laravel environment and into the shell environment. That isn't really bad since I can make some command files to be executed within Laravel via the shell prompt. I believe this will work. I just didn't think about this avenue. Thanks for your help. – Michael D. Kirkpatrick Jun 14 '22 at 21:02
