Rspec: test if method was called on an object inside a job?

I made a job to call a method if ended_at was less than today. For some reason I keep getting failures even if I throw a binding pry right at the moment it is about to break and manually call the method and it works fine. However, I still get a failure if I just let the spec test run on its own.

My job:

class RemoveOldEventsFromAlgoliaJob < ApplicationJob
  queue_as :default

  def perform

    old_events = Event.where("ended_at < ?", Date.today)
    old_events.each do |e|
      e.remove_from_algolia
    end
  end
end

My method:

def remove_from_algolia
  index = Algolia::Index.new(@@ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME)
  index.delete_object(self.id)
end

My spec test:

require 'rails_helper'

RSpec.describe RemoveOldEventsFromAlgoliaJob, type: :job do
    it "will remove old events from the index" do
    ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :test
    event = FactoryGirl.create(:event, title: "EXPIRED EVENT", ended_at: 1.day.ago)

    RemoveOldEventsFromAlgoliaJob.perform_now

    expect(event).to receive(:remove_from_algolia)
  end
end

RSpec output:

Failures:

  1) d will remove old events from the index
     Failure/Error: expect(event).to receive(:remove_from_algolia)

I can put a binding.pry inside my job during the spec test and call that method successfully:

     4: def perform
     5:
     6:   old_events = Event.where("ended_at < ?", Date.today)
     7:   old_events.each do |e|
 =>  8:   binding.pry
     9:     e.remove_from_algolia
    10:   end
    11: end

[1] pry(#<RemoveOldEventsFromAlgoliaJob>)> e.remove_from_algolia
=> {"deletedAt"=>"2017-03-24T00:37:53.743Z", "taskID"=>206043962, "objectID"=>"409"}
[2] pry(#<RemoveOldEventsFromAlgoliaJob>)>

Try using a stub for event instead of a real Event model:

require 'rails_helper'

RSpec.describe RemoveOldEventsFromAlgoliaJob, type: :job do
    it "will remove old events from the index" do
    ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :test
    event = double('event')
    allow(Event).to receive(:where).and_return([event])
    expect(event).to receive(:remove_from_algolia)

    RemoveOldEventsFromAlgoliaJob.perform_now

  end
end
