Laravel 6 - dispatch event doesn't work (broadcast drive log) - laravel

Question

I am trying to start the work on broadcasting and event, but so far the event won't fire at all, and I don't have a clue what is going on
In my .env file I have this:
BROADCAST_DRIVER=log
Event class:
<?php
namespace App\Events;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PresenceChannel;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PrivateChannel;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
class OrdersStatusUpdate implements ShouldBroadcast
{
use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new event instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
}
/**
* Get the channels the event should broadcast on.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel|array
*/
public function broadcastOn()
{
return new Channel('orders');
// return new PrivateChannel('channel-name');
}
}
My controller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Frontend;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Events\OrdersStatusUpdate;
class SiteController extends Controller
{
public function index(){
OrdersStatusUpdate::dispatch();
}
}
Nothing is happening when I fire a request in the browser (log is not created).
I am running PHP 7.4.3 on localhost:9099
What am I doing wrong here?

Try to run php artisan queue:work to start your queue worker and processing queue jobs. You can also use supervisor to automate this.
