Sidekiq sending jobs to test queue instead of developement queue

Question

I've added specs to cover sidekiq jobs with rspec, but now, when I start a rails server, console, or just sidekiq, I have this warning:

WARNING: Sidekiq testing API enabled, but this is not the test environment.  Your jobs will not go to Redis.

And jobs are indeed not enqueued.

How can I switch back to the development API?

Don't `require 'sidekiq/testing'` anywhere (except rails_helper/spec_helper/test_helper or whatever global test setup file you use) — Sergio Tulentsev, Sep 14 '17 at 08:56
I'm getting the same message and I only required it in my `spec_helper`. Did you find a solution? — Cojones, Oct 15 '17 at 12:26
Also look for `require 'sidekiq/testing/inline'` in the initializer files and/or environment specific files, like `config/environments/development.rb` — Edgar Ortega, Feb 04 '20 at 18:29

You might want to check if you've included the gem 'rspec-sidekiq' in the group :development. If it's the case, remove it from there and only call it in the :test group.

I wish I'd found this 4 hours ago. Thank you! – TerryS Nov 21 '17 at 21:45
You should probably accept this as the correct answer. – Ritchie Jun 06 '19 at 03:16

Following up on Thomas answer above, if you don't find the rspec-sidekiq gem in your Gemfile, check if any part of your project code (such as a sidekiq initializer) has code like this:

 require 'sidekiq/testing'
 Sidekiq::Testing.inline!

We had the same problem here, and since our development and test envs share the same gems in a dockerized container, we had to solve differently:

Turn off auto require for rspec-sidekiq gem in Gemfile

gem "rspec-sidekiq", ~> "3.1.0", require: false

Require it only on spec/rails_helper.rb

require "rspec-sidekiq"

I found this error when using sidekiqswarm and preloading the test gems.

Once I made the change, it worked perfect.

Before:

worker: SIDEKIQ_COUNT=5 SIDEKIQ_MAXMEM_MB=300 SIDEKIQ_PRELOAD=default,development,test sidekiqswarm -C config/sidekiq.yml

After:

worker: SIDEKIQ_COUNT=5 SIDEKIQ_MAXMEM_MB=300 SIDEKIQ_PRELOAD=default,development sidekiqswarm -C config/sidekiq.yml```
