Rails 4.2 - Sidekiq not sending emails in development
actionmailer, rails-activejob, ruby, ruby-on-rails-4, sidekiq
Solution
You need to bootup sidekiq with the mailer queue for it to pick up these jobs:
bundle exec sidekiq -q default -q mailers
The Sidekiq Wiki goes over the scenarios in detail here.
Problem
I have a rails app in which I have a method where I send a lot of emails. I would like to perform this action `asynchronously`. To do it I've tried to use `Sidekiq`, but I can't get it to work properly - it doesn't send any emails. Sending email worked before, so I'm certain that my email settings is set ut correctly. In my `gemfile` I have this: ``` gem 'sidekiq' ``` And I have run `bundle install`. I have also install `redis`, followed the instructions on RailsCasts #366. I have started `sidekiq` with the following command: `bundle exec sidekiq`, this resulted in what can be seen in the image below: In `application.rb` I have the following: ``` config.active_job.queue_adapter = :sidekiq ``` And I try to send the emails like this: ``` Mailer.deliver_new_competition_notification(member.user, @competition).deliver_later! ``` I don't get any errors, but the emails never gets sent. So, have I missed something?
