System check: enable the queue

Self-Hosted | v5
1

The system check of InvoiceNinja reports that allegedly the cron is not running, although it is active. The message is also displayed when the scheduler is started manually:

php artisan schedule:run
[2022-07-06T15:25:45+00:00] Running scheduled command: App\Jobs\Ninja\QueueSize
[2022-07-06T15:25:45+00:00] Running scheduled command: Callback

Hi,

The cron and queue are separate things, the queue is set to sync which disables it.

3

So what to do to activate the queue?

4

There’s info in the docs:

https://invoiceninja.github.io/docs/self-host-installation/#cron-configuration-1

Hi @hillel,
I know about this doc but I don’t find the bug why “System check” said: “Queue not enabled”.

My cronjob runs every minute php artisan schedule:run
and the workflow for “automatic email” will be enabled:

So why I see the message “Queue not enabled”?

To enable the queue you need to set QUEUE_CONNECTION in the .env to database and add the queue:work cron to process the queued jobs. The details are in the docs.

Note: I don’t believe PHP 8.1 is supported.

@david it’s showing as green in the health check?

8

The parameter QUEUE_CONNECTION=database in “.env” will be set and both cronjobs are running:

But nothing will be changed in “System check”:

Try running php artisan optimize

10

Also no change:

11

Is it possible you have more than one QUEUE_CONNECTION value in the .env file?

12

No, there is only one:
QUEUE_CONNECTION=database

13

@david any thoughts?

14

@RoundAboutWEB

I would suggest trying to run /update?secret=secret

Also note that we don’t support PHP 8.1 yet.

Hello @david,

i didn’t know that PHP 8.1 is not supported as it is marked OK in the system check

What exactly do you mean by “trying to run /update?secret=secret”?
Is this an entry in the “.env” or a command? What exactly should I do with it?

The same problem with PHP 8.0:

despite the optimize command i don’t think your configuration is updating.

If you add /update?secret=secret in your browser, this will make the system update the configuration also.

Nothing change with domain/update?secret=secret in Browser.
I updated from 5.4.8 to 5.4.9, this will be shown but the problem with queue is the same.
