TravisCI status

Deprecated

Since v3.5, rspec-rails defines matchers that provide the same functionality as those in rspec-activejob. See rspec-rails docs for more detail.

Installation

gem install rspec-activejob

Or add it to the Gemfile into the :development and :test group

# Gemfile
group :development, :test do
  ...
  gem 'rspec-activejob'
  ...
end

RSpec ActiveJob matchers

# config/environments/test.rb
config.active_job.queue_adapter = :test

# spec/spec_helper.rb
require 'rspec/active_job'

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include(RSpec::ActiveJob)

  # clean out the queue after each spec
  config.after(:each) do
    ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter.enqueued_jobs = []
    ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter.performed_jobs = []
  end
end

# spec/controllers/my_controller_spec.rb
RSpec.describe MyController do
  let(:user) { create(:user) }
  let(:params) { { user_id: user.id }.with_indifferent_access }
  subject(:make_request) { described_class.make_request(params) }

  specify { expect { make_request }.to enqueue_a(RequestMaker).with(global_id(user), deserialize_as(params)) }

  # or
  make_request
  expect(RequestMaker).to have_been_enqueued.with(global_id(user), deserialize_as(params))
end

rspec-activejob expects the current queue adapter to expose an array of enqueued_jobs, like the included test adapter. The test adapter included in ActiveJob 4.2.0 does not fully serialize its arguments, so you will not need to use the GlobalID matcher unless you're using ActiveJob 4.2.1. See rails/rails#18266 for the improved test adapter.

This gem defines four matchers:

  • enqueue_a: for a block or proc, expects that to enqueue an job to the ActiveJob test adapter. Optionally takes the job class as its argument, and can be modified with a .with(*args) call to expect specific arguments. This will use the same argument list matcher as rspec-mocks' receive(:message).with(*args) matcher. To verify the queue name (useful when queue_as was passed a block) use .as(queue_name) modifier. If your job uses set(wait_until: time), you can use .to_run_at(time) chain after enqueue_a call as well. In order to check for the right number of enqueued jobs use a .once or .times(n) modifiers.

  • have_been_enqueued: expects to have enqueued an job in the ActiveJob test adapter. Optionally accepts all the same modifiers as enqueue_a.

  • global_id(model_or_class): an argument matcher, matching ActiveJob-serialized versions of model classes or specific models (or any other class which implements to_global_id). If you pass a model class, it will match the serialized version of any instance of that model; if you pass an instance, it will expect the serialized version of that specific instance.

  • deserialize_as(hash): an argument matcher, matching ActiveJob-serialized versions of hashes (with string/symbol keys, or with indifferent access). This is required to properly match an instance of ActionController::Parameters in a controller spec for instance.

With the global_id matcher it's important to note that it's specific to ActiveJob-serialized GlobalIDs. ActiveJob serializes them as a hash like { '_aj_global_id' => 'gid://my-app/MyModel/ID123' }, to avoid clashes with plain strings which accidentally match the GlobalID syntax. This matcher will not work with other usages of GlobalID.
