Delay withChain Errors

[mikebrandl]

• Laravel Version: 8.9.0
• PHP Version: 7.3.23
• Database Driver & Version: Mysql

Description:

I have a delayed Queue Job, withChain, which I need to run two jobs shortly after each other.

QuoteJob::withChain([
new NestedQuoteJob($quote),
])->dispatch($quote)->delay(now()->addMinutes(1));

When using this I get the following error: message: "Call to a member function delay() on string"

This worked fine on Laravel 7 which is what I am attempting to upgrade from, so appears a new bug, non chained jobs work fine.

E.G QuoteJob::dispatch($quote)->delay(now()->addMinutes(1));

Steps To Reproduce:

Delay a dispatched, chained job.

Unfortunately I couldn't find the reasoning on why this change was made. Maybe this could be reverted somehow.

Although the docs don't specifically show an example of using delay in combination with withChain I understand that this technically worked in a previous version. I'll check with @themsaid to see if we'll either add this to the upgrade guide or restore this functionality. Thanks for reporting.

@mikebrandl does it work if you put delay before dispatch?

[mikebrandl]

Hi @driesvints Sadly not, just tried it.

Need more feedback from @themsaid on this but looks like the delay method needs to be added to PendingChain.

Fixed in next patch release.
