How do I view my sidekiq console output locally using the default queue?

I'm using Rails 5. I would like to create a sidekiq process running locally using the default queue. My worker class looks roughly like the below ...

module Accounting::Workers
  class FileGenerationWorker
    include Sidekiq::Worker

    def perform
      print "starting work ...\n"
      ...

I have set up my config/sidekiq.yml file like so, in hopes of running the worker daily at a specific time (11:05 am) ...

:concurrency: 20
:queues:
  - default
    ...
:schedule:
  Accounting::Workers::FileGenerationWorker:
    cron: "0 5 11 * *"
    queue: default

However, when I start my rails server ("rails s"), I don't see my print statement output to the console or any of the work performed, which tells me my worker isn't running. What else am I missing in order to get this worker scheduled properly locally?

Run the workers with 

bundle exec sidekiq

You may need to provide the path to the worker module. For example,

bundle exec sidekiq -r ./worker.rb

Sidekiq by itself doesn't support a :schedule: map entry in the Sidekiq configuration file.

Periodic job functionality is provided in extensions such as sidekiq-scheduler.

You need to use classes declared in the extended Sidekiq module provided in sidekiq-scheduler. For example,

./worker.rb

require 'sidekiq-scheduler'

require './app/workers/accounting'

Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
 config.redis = {db: 1}
end

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
 config.redis = {db: 1}
end

./app/workers/accounting.rb

module Accounting
   # ...
end

module Accounting::Workers
  class FileGenerationWorker
    include Sidekiq::Worker

    def perform
      puts "starting work ...\n"
    end
  end
end
