💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Setting $tries to 0 disables retries, which may not be intended.

Using a string instead of an integer for $tries.

The $tries property sets how many times Laravel will retry the job before marking it as failed. Setting it to 3 means the job will be attempted up to 3 times.

Complete the code to define the method that runs when a job fails in Laravel.

{
    // Handle the failure
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a method name that Laravel does not recognize for failure handling.

Not including the exception parameter.

The failed method is called automatically by Laravel when the job fails after all retries.

3fill in blank

Fix the error in the code to release the job back to the queue after a delay on failure.

Laravel

public function failed(\Exception $exception)
{
    $this->release([1]);
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing a string instead of an integer causes errors.

Using a function call like now() which returns a DateTime object.

The release method expects an integer number of seconds to delay before retrying the job. Passing 5 means the job will be retried after 5 seconds.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to define a job that should be retried 4 times and fails after 60 seconds delay.

Laravel

public $tries = [1];

public function failed(\Exception $exception)
{
    $this->release([2]);
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up the retry count and delay values.

Using strings instead of integers.

Setting $tries to 4 means the job will retry 4 times. Releasing with 60 delays the retry by 60 seconds after failure.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a job that retries 2 times, releases after 45 seconds on failure, and logs the exception message.

Laravel

public $tries = [1];

public function failed(\Exception $exception)
{
    $this->release([2]);
    \Log::error([3]);
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not calling getMessage() on the exception.

Using incorrect delay values or retry counts.

This job will retry twice, wait 45 seconds before retrying after failure, and log the error message from the exception.
