Meaning

SerializesModels stores only the model identifier and re-fetches it when the job runs. If the row is gone (or soft-deleted), a ModelNotFoundException is thrown. Use $deleteWhenMissingModels = true, pass IDs and look up safely, or check state in handle().

Common causes

  • Model deleted between dispatch and execution
  • Soft-deleted model without withTrashed
  • Dispatch inside a transaction that hasn't committed yet
  • Wrong database/connection in worker
  • Race with cleanup jobs

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Set public $deleteWhenMissingModels = true; on the job
  2. Use ->afterCommit() when dispatching inside transactions
  3. Pass the ID and re-query defensively

Detailed fix by platform

Laravel

  1. SendReceipt::dispatch($order)->afterCommit();

How to diagnose

  1. Model — Still exists?
  2. Transaction — Committed before dispatch?
  3. Soft delete — Trashed?
