A Laravel Queue worker that's safe for use with Laravel Doctrine

When to use SafeQueue

You use Laravel 6 or up
You use Laravel Doctrine
Devops say the CPU usage of queue:listen is unacceptable
You want to do php artisan queue:work --daemon without hitting cascading EntityManager is closed exceptions

Compatibility

Version	Supported Laravel Versions
0.1.*	5.1, 5.2
0.2.*	^5.3.16
0.3.*	> 5.4 & <=5.8.*
0.4.*	^6.0 & ^7.0
0.5.*	^8.0

How it Works

SafeQueue overrides a small piece of Laravel functionality to make the queue worker daemon safe for use with Doctrine. It makes sure that the worker exits if the EntityManager is closed after an exception. For good measure it also clears the EM before working each job.

Installation

Install using composer

composer require digbang/safe-queue

Once you've got the codez add the following to your service providers in app.php

Digbang\SafeQueue\DoctrineQueueProvider::class

Lumen

Create the config file config/safequeue.php and load it: $app->configure('safequeue');

<?php

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Worker Command Name
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Configure the signature / name of the Work Command here. The default
    | is to rename the command to 'doctrine:queue:work', however you can
    | rename it to whatever you want by changing this value.
    |
    | To override the Laravel 'queue:work' command name just set this
    | to a false value or 'queue:work'.
    |
    */
    'command_name' => 'doctrine:queue:work',

];

Usage

php artisan doctrine:queue:work  connection --daemon --sleep=3 --tries=3 ...

All options are identical to Laravel's own queue:work method.
