Cucumber - perform ActiveJob `perform_later` jobs immediately

I have many jobs that are calling other nested jobs using perform_later. However, during some tests on Cucumber, I'd like to execute those jobs immediately after to proceed with the rests of the tests.

I thought it would be enough to add

# features/support/active_job.rb
World(ActiveJob::TestHelper)

And to call jobs using this in a step definition file

perform_enqueued_jobs do
  # call step that calls MyJob.perform_later(*args)
end

However I run into something like that

undefined method `perform_enqueued_jobs' for #<ActiveJob::QueueAdapters::AsyncAdapter:0x007f98fd03b900> (NoMethodError)

What am I missing / doing wrong ?

I switched to the :test adapter in tests and it worked out for me:

# initialisers/test.rb

config.active_job.queue_adapter = :test

# features/support/env.rb

World(ActiveJob::TestHelper)

It would seem as long as you call .perform_now inside the cucumber step, even if there are nested jobs with .deliver_later inside, it does work too

#support/active_job.rb
World(ActiveJob::TestHelper)

#my_job_steps.rb
Given(/^my job starts$/) do
  MyJob.perform_now(logger: 'stdout')
end

#jobs/my_job.rb
...
MyNestedJob.perform_later(*args) # is triggered during the step
...

Also, in my environment/test.rb file I didn't write anything concerning ActiveJob, the default was working fine. I believe the default adapter for tests is :inline so calling .deliver_later _now shouldn't matter
