Automatically restart Queue when local PHP files change

Inspired by spatie/laravel-horizon-watcher, this package contains Artisan Command queue:watch that will start the default Queue worker and automatically restart it when any PHP file is created, updated or deleted.

Also you can provide the --queue= option to define another queue than default to be watched.

To disable Job and Queue Timeout, use the --timeout= option with value 0.

This command is meant to be used in local environment.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require mennen-online/laravel-queue-watcher --dev

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    /*
     * Laravel Queue will be restarted when any PHP file inside these directories
     * get created, updated or deleted. You can also specify other kinds
     * of files here.
     */
    'paths' => [
        app_path(),
        config_path(),
        database_path(),
        resource_path('views'),
        base_path('.env'),
        base_path('composer.lock'),
    ],

    /*
     * This command will be executed to start Laravel Queue.
     */
    'command' => 'php artisan queue:work',
];

Usage

Run php artisan queue:watch --queue=another_queue to start another_queue and restart it automatically.

Run php artisan queue:watch --timeout=0 to disable queue worker timeout.
