Rails | How to Ignore raise error sidekiq worker | Capybara

Question

I am pretty new to rails and my team recently moved to use sidekiq

Calling a worker with this instruction within model

CoolClassJob.perform_async(...)

I'm using a worker with a code similar to this:

class CoolClassJob
  include Sidekiq::Worker
  sidekiq_options queue: "payment", retry: 5

  sidekiq_retry_in do |count|
    10
  end

  def perform()
    ...
        whatever = {...}

        if whatever.status == 'successful'
          thisCoolFunction                  # successfully ends job
        elsif whatever.status == 'failed'
          anotherCoolFunction               # successfully ends job
        elsif whatever.pending?             # I want to retry if it falls in this condition since it is "waiting" for another task to complete.
          raise 'We are trying again'
        end
    ...
  end
  ...
end

I tried with

          begin
            raise 'We are trying again!'
          rescue
             nil
          end

But when I run my tests, I get this error:

     Failure/Error: raise 'We are trying again!'
     
     RuntimeError:
       'We are trying again!'
     ...

Which of course, makes sense to me, since I'm raising the error, I tried searching but wasn't able to come up with a solution. I'm wondering whether its able to a) retry again without raising an error or b) tell Capybara (rspec) to keep trying without throwing an error.

One way would be to reschedule your worker :

def perform()
    ...
        whatever = {...}

        if whatever.status == 'successful'
          thisCoolFunction                  # successfully ends job
        elsif whatever.status == 'failed'
          anotherCoolFunction               # successfully ends job
        elsif whatever.pending?             # I want to retry if it falls in this condition since it is "waiting" for another task to complete.
          self.class.perform_in(1.minute)
        end
    ...
end
