Testing Mails queued with Sidekiq

Because we need to have the ability to schedule email delivery, we have migrated to using Sidekiq to send emails with the deliver_later method. Under the old regime that used deliver_now, our testing could use

ActionMailer::Base.deliveries[index]

to inspect the recipient, subject, body, attachments, etc...

For testing purposes, is there an equivalent mechanism to inspect the contents of queued email when using Sidekiq and deliver_later?

Solution

  • The solution turned out to be to execute perform_enqueued_jobs after all emails were queued. After this, all of the existing testing mechanisms worked.
