laravel : how to queue verification emails properly

Question

I'm using Laravel 10, and I've been looking for a way to queue verification emails sent by Laravel, I came across this post where they suggested overriding and extending the VerifyEmail class so we can implement ShouldQueue in the new class, but for some reason only when I implement ShouldQueue the queued job fails with this exception :

Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\RouteNotFoundException: Route [verification.verify] not defined.

here is my code related to this matter:

Models\User.php :

    public function sendEmailVerificationNotification() {
        $this->notify(new QueuedVerifyEmail);
    }

Notifications\QueuedVerifyEmail.php (here if I don't implement ShouldQueue it'll work as normal, slow response)

namespace App\Notifications;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Auth\Notifications\VerifyEmail;

class QueuedVerifyEmail extends VerifyEmail implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Queueable;
}

AuthController.php

// sending verification email when registering
    public function register(StoreUserRequest $request) {
        
        $user = User::create($request->all());

        if($user) {
            $token = $user->createToken('api token of ' . $user->name);

            // sending verification mail
            $user->sendEmailVerificationNotification();

            return $this->success([
                'user' => $user,
                'token' => $token
            ], 201, "user created successfully!");
        }else {
            return $this->failed([], 500, $user);
        }
            
    }
// verifying via the sent link
    public function verifyEmail(EmailVerificationRequest $request) {

        if($request->user()->hasVerifiedEmail()) {
            return $this->success([], 208, "already verified!");
        }

        $request->fulfill();
        return $this->success([], 200, "verified!");

    }

routes\api.php

Route::prefix('v1')->group(function() {
    ...
    // email verification
    Route::get('/email/verify/{id}/{hash}', [AuthController::class, 'verifyEmail'])->middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'signed'])->name('verification.verify');
});

I'm very new to Laravel, so if you have any better way to queue the verification emails please do let me know.

the main problem in your case this route not exist ( verification.verify ) try to find this route in your route list ( php artisan route:list ) — Mohamed Ahmed, Jul 01 '23 at 02:32
@MohamedAhmed I added the route list to the post, should've done that earlier sorry, the problem is that it works totally fine when I delete the `implements ShouldQueue` in "QueuedVerifyEmail.php" file — anas ali, Jul 01 '23 at 18:16

so after I got tired of banging my head for the day I closed it and came the next day and it works now.. soo I guess I forgot to implement the number one troubleshooting rule of technology, turn it off then turn it on again.

something didn't propagate while configuring files and restarting the php artisan serve command fixed it.
