No way to unit test send_later effectively

[noctivityinc]

I am trying to unit test DJ with some emails that are being set to send_later. While I can check the database for the record, it seems like it would make more sense if I could:

1 - Check that DJ has it
2 - Simulate a run
3 - Check to make sure it ran as expected.

Any thoughts?

Yup. You should be able to do the following in a unit test:

1. Verify there are no delayed jobs already in the db:
   assert_equal 0, Delayed::Job.count
2. Make a call that will result in the job being enqueued
3. Verify that DJ has it
   assert_equal 1, Delayed::Job.count
4. Simulate a run
   Delayed::Worker.new.work_off
5. Check that it ran as expected
   assert_equal 0, Delayed::Job.count
   and then any assertions that you need to do to check that DJ actually worked.
