$job->release() is not putting back on queue
laravel,laravel-4,queue,sync,push-queue
Ok, based on my research and what others have said I don't believe $job->release() works using the sync driver. I am new to queues though so I may be wrong. Feel free to point it out if I am. Until then, this will be accepted answer.
How do I check the number of tasks currently in the queue?
Not from the headers, no. But you can use the QueueStatistics class to query that information.
