Sidekiq worker not getting triggered

Question

I am using Sidekiq for my background jobs:

I have a worker app/workers/data_import_worker.rb

class DataImportWorker
 include Sidekiq::Worker
 sidekiq_options retry: false

  def perform(job_id,file_name)
    begin
    #Some logic in it .....
  end
 end

Called from a file lib/parse_excel.rb

  def parse_raw_data
      #job_id and #filename are defined bfr
      DataImportWorker.perform_async(job_id,filename)   
  end

As soon as i trigger it from my action the worker is not getting called.. Redis is running on localhost:6379

Any idea why this must be happening. The Environment is Linux.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem where Sidekiq was running but when I called perform_async it didn't do anything except return true.

The problem was rspec-sidekiq was added to my ":development, :test" group. I fixed the problem by moving rspec-sidekiq to the ":test" group only.
