Bulk dispatching jobs onto the DatabaseQueue does not trigger jobs

Description

When pushing an array of jobs onto the database queue using the bulk method the JobQueueing and JobQueued events are not triggered.

In contrast, when pushing an array of jobs onto the redis queue or the SQS queue using the bulk method, these event are triggered (as they should be imho).

I think that @RuslanMelnychenko also described symptoms of this bug in #52380.

I see two potential solutions:

• Either not inserting all jobs in a single database modification (i.e. using the default implementation of the bulk method)
• Or by calling the raiseJobQueueingEvent/raiseJobQueuedEvent methods for all jobs before/after the logic that is currently implemented in the bulk method.

Steps To Reproduce

Add a listener for JobQueueing and dispatch jobs onto different queues:

Bus::batch($jobs)->onConnection('database')->dispatch();
Bus::batch($jobs)->onConnection('redis')->dispatch();

The listener will not be invoked when using the database connection, while it will be invoked for the redis connection.

Hey! 👋

You’re right—when pushing an array of jobs to the database queue with the bulk method, the JobQueueing and JobQueued events aren’t triggered. This is different from the behavior on Redis or SQS queues, which can definitely cause inconsistencies.
Possible Workaround

One option is to manually trigger these events in your code before and after the bulk dispatch. Here’s a quick example:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;
use Illuminate\Queue\Events\JobQueueing;
use Illuminate\Queue\Events\JobQueued;

$jobs = [ /* your array of jobs */ ];

foreach ($jobs as $job) {
Event::dispatch(new JobQueueing($job));
}

Bus::batch($jobs)->onConnection('database')->dispatch();

foreach ($jobs as $job) {
Event::dispatch(new JobQueued($job));
}

This will manually raise the JobQueueing and JobQueued events, ensuring consistency across different queue drivers. Hope this helps! 😊
