How can I test using "within_sidekiq_retries_exhausted_block" with an outside method

[drewnichols]

I recommend closing this issue. I was able to get within_sidekiq_retries_exhausted_block working successfully as described in the documentation. The issue described above is because

expect(PostListingsWorker).to receive(:"NotifyMailer.warn_email().deliver_now").with(msg)

should be

expect(NotifyMailer).to receive(:warn_email).with(msg)

I can't even get this to work with the example given in the docs using rspec 3.x.

@zhen639 did you ever solve this?

Update - found this answer on SO from Mike Perham, which seems relevant:

Was this ever solved?

believe https://github.com/philostler/rspec-sidekiq#within_sidekiq_retries_exhausted_block should work

[packrat386]

Err actually I misread this. I think you need to just set the expectation on the class you're calling. In the example case it'd be expect(NotifyMailer).to receive(:warn_email) # etc...

+1 to what @packrat386 said here - you'd set the expectation on the NotifyMailer class as opposed to involving the PostListingsWorker
