Job WithoutOverlapping Middleware not working

[anabeto93]

• Laravel Version: 9.8.1
• PHP Version: 8.1.2
• Database Driver & Version: sqlite

Description:

The middleware() method on jobs not getting called. Have tried to dd() and it does not work unlike uniqueId() method when implementing the ShouldBeUnique interface.

Steps To Reproduce:

On a clean laravel app,

1. Create a job, that simply logs any string
2. Inlcude the middleware() method and include the WithoutOverlapping middleware, defining a key for it.
3. Test it using phpunit or postman making sure to dd() in the middleware

Below are some screenshots to better explain

1. Route endpoint
   

Route::get('log', function() {
    DB::beginTransaction();

    SimpleLogJob::dispatch()->afterCommit()->afterResponse();

    User::create([
        'email' => '[email protected]',
        'password' => 'unhashedpassword',
        'name' => 'Testing Commit',
    ]);

    DB::commit();

    return response()->json(['message' => "Logging works."]);
});

2. Tests
   

public function test_job_dispatched_after_response()
    {
        $response = $this->json('GET', 'api/log');

        $response->assertStatus(200)->assertJson([
            'message' => 'Logging works.'
        ]);

        $users = User::get();

        $this->assertCount(1, $users);
    }

3. Result
   

Should've died and dumped the result some_middleware when the tests run.

@anabeto93 I moved your question here because I think this is a support question, not a bug. Please try some support channels first.

I ran into this question today as well. But after checking the framework's code, I realized.

When dispatching the Job, the middleware method will not be triggered by any place.

This method would be called when the job is handled, which is CallQueueHandler
