Getting Queued Jobs response Laravel 5.2 - laravel-5

Question

currently I have the following set up, a route that is calling a function in my controller that is in turn queuing a job.
//My Route
Route::get('/testJob', 'Controller#testJob');
//My Controller
public function testJob()
{
$job = (new testJob())->delay(5);
$this->dispatch($job);
}
//My job
public function handle()
{
require 'testAPICall.php';
// echo $response;
return $response;
}
//testAPICall.php
$response = 'this is the response';
//Queue After
Queue::after(function (JobProcessed $event) {
echo var_dump($event->data);
});
What I would like to be able to do, is access the response returned by the job in Queue::after, or alternatively, pass a callback into the queue to be execute after the job, again with access to the response from the job.
Is this something that is possible with Laravel Queues, and if so how would I go about this?
Cheers, Jack.

Answer 1

Queue::after() is a global callback, that will run after each job. So this might not what you want.
In your case, I would depend on Events/Listeners to be triggered after finishing the job.
public function handle(Mailer $mailer)
{
//Your code
event(new JobDone($data));
}
Please let me know if you need more details for implementation.

I have done something like yours that log a message "queue.txt" in laravel 5 "app" folder
This code I've got from a youtube video and not my code , but I have tested it successfully
First thing you have to code in "Routes.php" as below
Route::get('/',function()
{
//$queue = Queue::push('LogMessage',array('message'=>'Time: '.time()));
$queue = Queue::later(20,'LogMessage',array('message'=>'Time: '.time()));
return $queue;
});
class LogMessage{
public function fire($job,$data){
File::append(app_path().'/queue.txt',$data['message'].PHP_EOL);
$job->delete();
}
}
Then you can run your project folder using "php -S localhost:8888 -t public"
at the same time you must open a another terminal window in windows or linux environment and pointed to same folder and issue the command "php artisan queue:listen"
I think this will be helpful for you!
