Sidekiq::Status tries to connect to Redis in RSpec

[andrewt77]

Ruby version: 3.0.1
Rails version: 7.0.7
Sidekiq / Pro / Enterprise version(s): 7.1.3

sidekiq initializer:

require 'sidekiq'
require 'sidekiq-status'

# SIDEKIQ_STATUS_EXPIRATION = 48.hours.to_i
Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
  config.redis = { :size => 1 }
  Sidekiq.strict_args!(false)
  # Sidekiq::Status.configure_client_middleware(config,
                                              # expiration: SIDEKIQ_STATUS_EXPIRATION)
end

After updating from Sidekiq 6 to Sidekiq 7, running sidekiq worker tests with RSpec that involve using Sidekiq::Status or Sidekiq::Batch modules are failing because they are trying to connect to a redis server (which should not happen in RSpec, and also confirmed that in Sidekiq 6 it works as expected).

Even trying to put the Sidekiq::Status.configure_client_middleware line in the sidekiq initializer (commented for now) and trying to run a RSpec test with sidekiq will result into the following error:

RedisClient::CannotConnectError:
       Connection refused - connect(2) for 127.0.0.1:6379

If I comment that line then the initializer runs successfully, but then it will fail where I use Sidekiq::Status or Sidekiq::Batch in the workers that are being tested. For Sidekiq::Batch I found a workaround with rspec-sidekiq, but I can't find one to prevent Sidekiq::Status to connect to redis server.

I'm using the latest sidekiq-status, 3.0.3, and we really want to upgrade the Sidekiq gem from 6 to 7, so any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I have the same problem, if I remove the include in my Job of Sidekiq Status it works

Found the problem, somehow the sidekiq-status module is required after requiring sidekiq-status/testing/inline.

This solutions works, but I think is a temporary solution:

spec_helper.rb

  config.before(:suite) { require 'sidekiq-status/testing/inline' }

This solutions works, but I think is a temporary solution:

spec_helper.rb

  config.before(:suite) { require 'sidekiq-status/testing/inline' }

This wasn't working for me, instead I've completely removed the middleware from my test environment. Here's what my Sidekiq initializer looks like:

require "sidekiq"
require "sidekiq-status"

Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
  break if Rails.env.test?

  Sidekiq::Status.configure_client_middleware config, expiration: 60.minutes.to_i
end

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
  break if Rails.env.test?

  Sidekiq::Status.configure_server_middleware config, expiration: 60.minutes.to_i
  Sidekiq::Status.configure_client_middleware config, expiration: 60.minutes.to_i
end

@angusm73 this is actually a good solution. we still need to figure out why is this happening though
