Queue Problems

Messages pile up and nothing is processed

queue:consumer:list shows the consumer but no translations appear.

Cause	Fix
The process is not running	Start it, or let Magento cron run it.
`app/etc/env.php` filters consumers	A non-empty `cron_consumers_runner.consumers` array that omits `aireview.translation.generate`. Add it, or empty the array.
The consumer exited after 5000 messages	Nothing restarted it. Use Supervisor or systemd.
Magento cron is not running	`php bin/magento cron:run` and check the `cron_schedule` table.

See Running the Consumer.

The consumer is not listed at all

php bin/magento queue:consumer:list | grep review

Nothing returned means the module's queue configuration was never read:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento cache:flush

If it is still missing, the module is not enabled — check php bin/magento module:status Webkul_AIReviewTranslator.

Do I need RabbitMQ?

No. The queue is declared on the db connection and uses Magento's MySQL-backed queue tables. Installing AMQP changes nothing here.

The consumer is running but using old settings

It caches configuration at start. After changing the provider, key, or model, restart it:

supervisorctl restart aireview_translation     # or
systemctl restart aireview-translation

Checking what is in the queue

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM queue_message_status
WHERE  queue_id = (SELECT queue_id FROM queue WHERE name = 'aireview.translation.generate')
  AND  status = 2;   -- 2 = new / not yet processed

A number that only grows means the consumer is not consuming.

Bulk operations show as failed

Queued work also appears under System → Bulk Actions as Generating Review Translation for product. A failed operation there points at the underlying error — check var/log/aireviewlogger.log for the message.

Should I run several consumers?

Translation is an outbound API call, not CPU-bound work. Parallel consumers mostly produce provider rate-limit errors. Keep it to one process unless you have confirmed your provider's limits allow more.
