How do I schedule a queue job synchronously on Laravel

Question

Pretty much what the title says, when I write this on kernel.php

$schedule->job(new Heartbeat)->everyFiveMinutes();

It runs the code asynchronously, is there anyway I could do a dispatchNow() on a schedule?

I am using Laravel 7

Answer 1

You may use onConnection method to set the driver on-the-fly.

$schedule->job((new Heartbeat)->onConnection('sync'))->everyFiveMinutes();

Another option may be while calling the job method, setting the connection.

/**
 * Add a new job callback event to the schedule.
 *
 * @param  object|string  $job
 * @param  string|null  $queue
 * @param  string|null  $connection
 * @return \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\CallbackEvent
 */
public function job($job, $queue = null, $connection = null)
{
    return $this->call(function () use ($job, $queue, $connection) {
        $job = is_string($job) ? Container::getInstance()->make($job) : $job;

        if ($job instanceof ShouldQueue) {
            $this->dispatchToQueue($job, $queue ?? $job->queue, $connection ?? $job->connection);
        } else {
            $this->dispatchNow($job);
        }
    })->name(is_string($job) ? $job : get_class($job));
}
