Rails 7.1: implementing RSpec Testing for ActiveJob with Sidekiq in a Multi-Environment Setup
I'm experimenting with I've been banging my head against this for hours... I'm trying to implement I'm working on a Rails 7.1 application that utilizes ActiveJob with Sidekiq for processing background jobs... I have set up my test environment to run RSpec tests, but I'm working with issues when attempting to test jobs that depend on external APIs. I'm using `webmock` to stub HTTP requests, but it seems like the job isn't being enqueued as expected, and I'm receiving a `NoMethodError` when I try to check if the job has been enqueued. Here's a simplified example of the job: ```ruby class MyJob < ApplicationJob queue_as :default def perform(api_url) response = HTTParty.get(api_url) # Process response... end end ``` In my RSpec test, I have the following setup: ```ruby require 'rails_helper' require 'webmock/rspec' RSpec.describe MyJob, type: :job do before do stub_request(:get, 'https://api.example.com/data').to_return(status: 200, body: '{"key":"value"}') allow(MyJob).to receive(:perform_later) end it 'enqueues the job' do MyJob.perform_later('https://api.example.com/data') expect(MyJob).to have_received(:perform_later) end end ``` When I run the test, I get an behavior: `NoMethodError: undefined method 'perform_later' for MyJob:Class`. I've verified that the job is defined correctly and that Sidekiq is correctly set up in the test environment, but I need to seem to figure out why the job isn't being recognized. I've also confirmed that `ActiveJob` is being included in the `ApplicationJob` class. Any suggestions on what might be going wrong here? Is there a potential misconfiguration in how I’ve set up Sidekiq or RSpec? I'm also using `rspec-rails` version 5.0 and `sidekiq` version 6.2. Thank you for any help! My development environment is Linux. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. For reference, this is a production mobile app. Am I approaching this the right way? I'm working with Ruby in a Docker container on CentOS. For context: I'm using Ruby on CentOS. Any examples would be super helpful. I'm on Linux using the latest version of Ruby.
