How to use Sidekiq

Question

I'm trying to use Sidekiq to send emails.

I've installed Sidekiq as per the wiki. Then in my controller:

UserMailer.delay_for(2.minutes).send_invoice(@invoice.id, set_db)

In the sidekiq dashboard I can see the job scheduled and I can move it to enqueued but then nothing happens.

The problem is not with the mail itself as if I try:

UserMailer.send_invoice(@invoice.id, set_db).deliver

does work and the email is delivered perfectly.

What am I missing?

I think you didn't start a sidekiq worker:

bundle exec sidekiq
