Getting error: `Maximum execution time` when send Mail Queue in Laravel - php

Question

I using Laravel Mail Queue to send quick mail.
I have an error like:
Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in SendWelcomeEmail.php
(line 38)
Difficult to describe my error because I don't have experience with Laravel. So, I tried to record step by step what I did.
My problem is: when user click Send information, Send Mail is activated and it using too much time to complete this work. This affect to the user experience.
I expect an answer or another method to resolve my problem.
My demo was make with step by step:
Step 1:
c:\xampp\htdocs\laravel-test>php artisan queue:table
Migration created successfully!
c:\xampp\htdocs\laravel-test>php artisan queue:failed-table
Migration created successfully!
c:\xampp\htdocs\laravel-test>php artisan migrate

Migrated: 2017_04_03_150557_create_failed_jobs_table
Step 2: update my .env file and setting email:
APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:beQGwYyUPOTMtkbzDhft7swh68UJW7RqwAGwhELUfLI=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug
APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=dongxanh
DB_USERNAME=admin
DB_PASSWORD=euEW12il
BROADCAST_DRIVER=log
CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_DRIVER=database
REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=myemail#gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=yxpszfarmxoperew
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Step 3:
php artisan make:mail EmailCustomer
At function __contruct():
protected $content;
public function __construct($content)
{
$this->content = $content;
}
Function build():
public function build()
{
return $this->view('emails.contact')
->with('content',$this->content);
}
Step 4: In views/emails/contact.blade.php is:
Name: {{ $content['name'] }} <br>
Title: {{ $content['title'] }} <br>
Email: {{ $content['email'] }} <br>
Phone number: {{ $content['phonenumber'] }} <br>
Body:
{{ $content['body'] }}
Step 5: Create Job SendWelcomeEmail:
php artisan make:job SendWelcomeEmail
It will create SendWelcomeEmail.php look like this:
use Mail;
use App\Mail\EmailCustomer;
class SendWelcomeEmail implements ShouldQueue
{
protected $content;
public function __construct($content)
{
$this->content = $content;
}
public function handle()
{
sleep(60);
$receiverAddress = 'myemail#gmail.com';
$email = new EmailCustomer($content);
Mail::to($receiverAddress)->queue($email);
}
}
Finally: Send Job to Queue when user click submits form in app\Http\Controllers\RegisterForm.php:
public function storeCustomer(Request $request) {
Customer::create($request->all());
$content = [
'name'=> $request->input('name'),
'title'=> $request->input('title'),
'email'=> $request->input('email'),
'phonenumber' => $request->input('phonenumber'),
'body' => $request->input('body')
];
dispatch(new SendWelcomeEmail($content));
return view('partials.success-mail');
}
I run two commands:
php artisan serve
php artisan queue:work
And tested. It's show error like the question.

Answer 1

You should not use sleep here , Remove this to make queue work .
If need it try like this to increase time limit
php artisan queue:work --timeout=0
Or you can use Task Schedule : https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/scheduling
Also Use $this->content not $content.
$email = new EmailCustomer($content);

Answer 2

You missing this :
QUEUE_CONNECTION=database
