assert_enqueued_jobs(number, only: nil, except: nil, queue: nil)
Asserts that the number of enqueued jobs matches the given number.
def test_jobs
  assert_enqueued_jobs 0
  HelloJob.perform_later('david')
  assert_enqueued_jobs 1
  HelloJob.perform_later('abdelkader')
  assert_enqueued_jobs 2
end
If a block is passed, asserts that the block will cause the specified number of jobs to be enqueued.
def test_jobs_again
  assert_enqueued_jobs 1 do
    HelloJob.perform_later('cristian')
  end
  assert_enqueued_jobs 2 do
    HelloJob.perform_later('aaron')
    HelloJob.perform_later('rafael')
  end
end
Asserts the number of times a specific job was enqueued by passing :only option.
def test_logging_job
  assert_enqueued_jobs 1, only: LoggingJob do
    LoggingJob.perform_later
    HelloJob.perform_later('jeremy')
  end
end
Asserts the number of times a job except specific class was enqueued by passing :except option.
def test_logging_job
  assert_enqueued_jobs 1, except: HelloJob do
    LoggingJob.perform_later
    HelloJob.perform_later('jeremy')
  end
end
:only and :except options accepts Class, Array of Class or Proc. When passed a Proc, a hash containing the job's class and it's argument are passed as argument.
Asserts the number of times a job is enqueued to a specific queue by passing :queue option.
def test_logging_job
  assert_enqueued_jobs 2, queue: 'default' do
    LoggingJob.perform_later
    HelloJob.perform_later('elfassy')
  end
end

Asserts that the job has been enqueued with the given arguments.

  assert_enqueued_with(job: MyJob, args: [1,2,3], queue: 'low')

  assert_enqueued_with(job: MyJob, at: Date.tomorrow.noon)
end
The at and args arguments also accept a proc.
To the at proc, it will get passed the actual job's at argument.
def test_assert_enqueued_with
  expected_time = ->(at) do
    (Date.yesterday..Date.tomorrow).cover?(at)
  end
  MyJob.set(at: Date.today.noon).perform_later
  assert_enqueued_with(job: MyJob, at: expected_time)
end
To the args proc, it will get passed the actual job's arguments Your proc needs to return a boolean value determining if the job's arguments matches your expectation. This is useful to check only for a subset of arguments.
def test_assert_enqueued_with
  expected_args = ->(job_args) do
    assert job_args.first.key?(:foo)
  end
  MyJob.perform_later(foo: 'bar', other_arg: 'No need to check in the test')
  assert_enqueued_with(job: MyJob, args: expected_args, queue: 'low')
end
If a block is passed, asserts that the block will cause the job to be enqueued with the given arguments.
def test_assert_enqueued_with
  assert_enqueued_with(job: MyJob, args: [1,2,3], queue: 'low') do

Asserts that no jobs have been enqueued.

If a block is passed, asserts that the block will not cause any job to be enqueued.
def test_jobs_again
  assert_no_enqueued_jobs do
    # No job should be enqueued from this block

Asserts that no jobs of a specific kind are enqueued by passing :only option.
def test_no_logging
  assert_no_enqueued_jobs only: LoggingJob do
    HelloJob.perform_later('jeremy')

Asserts that no jobs except specific class are enqueued by passing :except option.
def test_no_logging

:only and :except options accepts Class, Array of Class or Proc. When passed a Proc, a hash containing the job's class and it's argument are passed as argument.

Returns an instance of the queue adapter and defaults to ActiveJob::QueueAdapters::TestAdapter.
Note: The adapter provided by this method must provide some additional methods from those expected of a standard ActiveJob::QueueAdapter in order to be used with the active job test helpers. Refer to ActiveJob::QueueAdapters::TestAdapter.
