Running Workers

Once jobs have been queued, start a worker with:

bin/cake queue worker

The plugin also registers bin/cake worker as an alias for the same command.

Options

• --config or -c: queue config name. Defaults to default.
• --queue or -Q: queue name to bind to. Defaults to the queue defined by the selected config.
• --processor or -p: processor name used for Enqueue topic binding.
• --logger or -l: CakePHP logger name. Used when running with verbose output.
• --max-jobs or -i: stop after processing a number of jobs.
• --max-runtime or -r: stop after running for a number of seconds.
• --max-attempts or -a: maximum retry count for each job unless the job class overrides it.
• --verbose or -v: enable verbose output through the selected logger.

How Workers Are Built

When a worker starts it:

• Loads the named queue config.
• Instantiates the configured processor class or falls back to Cake\Queue\Queue\Processor.
• Attaches retry limiting and optional failed-job persistence.
• Applies optional consumption limits such as max jobs and max runtime.
• Attaches the configured listener class, if any, to processor events.
• Binds the processor to the selected queue and consumes messages.
