Execute pending job with ActiveJob in rspec

Question

I have this code to test ActiveJob and ActionMailer with Rspec I don't know how really execute all enqueued job

describe 'whatever' do
  include ActiveJob::TestHelper

  after do
    clear_enqueued_jobs
  end  

  it 'should email' do
    expect(enqueued_jobs.size).to eq(1)
  end
end

Here is how I solved a similar problem:

# rails_helper.rb
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.before :example, perform_enqueued: true do
    @old_perform_enqueued_jobs = ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter.perform_enqueued_jobs
    @old_perform_enqueued_at_jobs = ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter.perform_enqueued_at_jobs
    ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter.perform_enqueued_jobs = true
    ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter.perform_enqueued_at_jobs = true
  end

  config.after :example, perform_enqueued: true do
    ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter.perform_enqueued_jobs = @old_perform_enqueued_jobs
    ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter.perform_enqueued_at_jobs = @old_perform_enqueued_at_jobs
  end
end

Then in specs we can use:

it "should perform immediately", perform_enqueued: true do
  SomeJob.perform_later  
end
