How to retry a failed job manually in Laravel?

In Laravel, you can manually retry a failed job by following these steps:

Locate the failed job ID: You can find the failed job ID by running the php artisan queue:failed command. This command will list all the failed jobs with their IDs.
Create a new command to retry the failed job: Open a terminal and navigate to your Laravel application's root directory. Run the following command to generate a new command file:

php artisan make:command RetryFailedJob

This command will generate a new file app/Console/Commands/RetryFailedJob.php.

Edit the handle() method in the RetryFailedJob command: Open the generated app/Console/Commands/RetryFailedJob.php file and replace the handle() method with the following code:

public function handle()
{
    $failedJobId = <failed_job_id>; // Replace with the actual failed job ID
    
    $failedJob = FailedJob::find($failedJobId);

    if ($failedJob) {
        $payload = json_decode($failedJob->payload);
        $job = unserialize($payload->data->command);

        dispatch($job);
        
        $this->info('The failed job has been retried successfully!');
    } else {
        $this->error('Invalid failed job ID!');
    }
}

Replace <failed_job_id> with the actual failed job ID you obtained in step 1.

Register the RetryFailedJob command: Open the app/Console/Kernel.php file and add the RetryFailedJob command to the $commands array:

protected $commands = [
    Commands\RetryFailedJob::class,
];

Run the command to retry the failed job: Run the following command in the terminal to retry the failed job:

php artisan retry:failed

Once you run the command, the failed job will be retried and processed. If the job still fails, Laravel will automatically log it as a failed job again, and you can retry it later using the same steps.
