Laravel jobs without overlap in sync mode

Question

For example I have a job called TestQueueJob which is proccessing using database queue driver, inside the job I call another job called TestSyncJob which is running in sync mode (TestSyncJob::dispatchSync()). The issue I am facing now is I need TestSyncJob to not overlap ever and when I have 2 or more TestQueueJob jobs running at the same time the issues come. I have tried to implement the job middleware using WithoutOverlapping class but in sync mode it just skippes the TestSyncJob job and I need it to wait until the other TestSyncJob execution is finished and to continue.

TestQueueJob::dispatch(); //running using database queue driver, there are > 1 numprocs in supervisor for the queue

class TestQueueJob implements ShouldQueue
{
    public function handle(): void
    {
        //some code
        TestSyncJob::dispatchSync(); //should wait until other TestSyncJob is finished and then run
        //some code
    }
}

use Illuminate\Queue\Middleware\WithoutOverlapping;

class TestSyncJob implements ShouldQueue
{
    public function handle(): void
    {
        \Log::info('Sync job started!');
        sleep(10);
        \Log::info('Sync job finished!');
    }

    public function middleware()
    {
        return [new WithoutOverlapping(1)];
    }
}

Answer 1

I have ended up extending the existing WithoutOverlapping middleware. It's now waiting for other jobs to finish and proceeds the executing of a job instead of skipping it in a "sync" queue mode.

class CustomWithoutOverlapping extends WithoutOverlapping
{
    public function handle($job, $next)
    {
        $lock = Container::getInstance()->make(Cache::class)->lock(
            $this->getLockKey($job), $this->expiresAfter
        );

        if ($lock->get()) {
            try {
                $next($job);
            } finally {
                $lock->release();
            }
        //START of new code
        } elseif ($job->connection === 'sync') {
            do {
                sleep(1);
            } while (!$lock->get());

            try {
                $next($job);
            } finally {
                $lock->release();
            }
        //END of new code
        } elseif (!is_null($this->releaseAfter)) {
            $job->release($this->releaseAfter);
        }
    }
}
