Job specs
Job specs provide alternative assertions to those available in ActiveJob::TestHelper
and help assert behaviour of the jobs themselves and that other entities correctly enqueue them.
Job specs are marked by type: :job
or if you have set config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location!
by placing them in spec/jobs
.
With job specs, you can:
- specify the job class which was enqueued
- specify the arguments passed to the job
- specify when the job was enqueued until
- specify the queue which the job was enqueued to
Check the documentation on
have_been_enqueued
,
have_enqueued_job
,
have_been_performed
, and
have_performed_job
for more information.
Background
Given active job is available.
Specify that job was enqueued
Given a file named “spec/jobs/uploadbackupsjob_spec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe UploadBackupsJob, type: :job do
describe "#perform_later" do
it "uploads a backup" do
ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :test
expect {
UploadBackupsJob.perform_later('backup')
}.to have_enqueued_job
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec/jobs/upload_backups_job_spec.rb
Then the example should pass.
Specify that job was enqueued for the correct date and time
Given a file named “spec/jobs/uploadbackupsjob_spec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe UploadBackupsJob, type: :job do
describe "#perform_later" do
it "uploads a backup" do
ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :test
expect {
UploadBackupsJob.set(wait_until: Date.tomorrow.noon, queue: "low").perform_later('backup')
}.to have_enqueued_job.with('backup').on_queue("low").at(Date.tomorrow.noon)
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec/jobs/upload_backups_job_spec.rb
Then the example should pass.
Specify that job was enqueued with no wait
Given a file named “spec/jobs/uploadbackupsjob_spec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe UploadBackupsJob, type: :job do
describe "#perform_later" do
it "uploads a backup" do
ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :test
expect {
UploadBackupsJob.set(queue: "low").perform_later('backup')
}.to have_enqueued_job.with('backup').on_queue("low").at(:no_wait)
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec/jobs/upload_backups_job_spec.rb
Then the example should pass.
Specify that job was enqueued with a priority
Given a file named “spec/jobs/uploadbackupsjob_spec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe UploadBackupsJob, type: :job do
describe "#perform_later" do
it "uploads a backup" do
ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :test
expect {
UploadBackupsJob.set(priority: 5).perform_later
}.to have_enqueued_job.at_priority(5)
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec/jobs/upload_backups_job_spec.rb
Then the example should pass.
Specify that job was enqueued with alias block syntax
Given a file named “spec/jobs/uploadbackupsjob_spec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe UploadBackupsJob, type: :job do
describe "#perform_later" do
it "uploads a backup" do
ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :test
expect {
UploadBackupsJob.perform_later('backup')
}.to enqueue_job
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec/jobs/upload_backups_job_spec.rb
Then the example should pass.
Specify that job was enqueued with imperative syntax
Given a file named “spec/jobs/uploadbackupsjob_spec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe UploadBackupsJob, type: :job do
describe "#perform_later" do
it "uploads a backup" do
ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :test
UploadBackupsJob.perform_later('backup')
expect(UploadBackupsJob).to have_been_enqueued
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec/jobs/upload_backups_job_spec.rb
Then the example should pass.
Specify that job was enqueued with imperative syntax and a chained expectation
Given a file named “spec/jobs/uploadbackupsjob_spec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe UploadBackupsJob, type: :job do
describe "#perform_later" do
it "uploads a backup" do
ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :test
UploadBackupsJob.perform_later('backup')
expect(UploadBackupsJob).to have_been_enqueued.exactly(:once)
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec/jobs/upload_backups_job_spec.rb
Then the example should pass.
The test adapter must be set to :test
Given a file named “spec/jobs/uploadbackupsjob_spec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe UploadBackupsJob, type: :job do
describe "#perform_later" do
it "uploads a backup" do
ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :development
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec/jobs/upload_backups_job_spec.rb
Then the example should fail.
