Write a feature Test using capybara when using sidekiq `perform_in` method

Most stuff I can find related is about testing that the background job is scheduled like this question.

However, I need to write a feature test that actually waits for the execution of the background job, so let's say:

BatchWorker.perform_in(30.minutes)

I will need to write a feature test that makes some assertions based on the results of this job that will execute in 30 minutes. How to do that?

UPDATE

Just to clarify... I don't need to test if the job is enqueued, for example with rspec-sidekiq gem you can do something like

Awesomejob.perform_in 30.minutes, 'Awesome', true
# test with...
expect(AwesomeJob).to have_enqueued_sidekiq_job('Awesome', true).in(30.minutes)

This is not what I need... I need to make an assertion on the page with capybara after the execution of the job.

I'm assuming you don't actually want to wait the 30 minutes during your test, and instead want to execute the job immediately (otherwise you just sleep for 30 minutes - but really doesn't gain you anything). The Sidekiq adapter has a number of methods to help with this such as Sidekiq::Testing.fake! and Sidekiq::Testing.inline!. In your case it sounds like for this test you'd want to use inline! in order to have the jobs executed immediately.

require "sidekiq/testing"
Sidekiq::Testing.inline!

If you used fake! then you'd need to call drain_all in order to have your enqueued jobs be executed. You can read more about this at https://sloboda-studio.com/blog/testing-sidekiq-jobs/ or in the sidekiq wiki and code at https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Testing and https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/blob/master/lib/sidekiq/testing.rb

You can checkout rspec-sidekiq

Awesomejob.perform_in 30.minutes, 'Awesome', true
# test with...
expect(AwesomeJob).to have_enqueued_sidekiq_job('Awesome', true).in(30.minutes)
