[SOLVED] Sidekiq tries to run in test environment

I have a very strange issue: Sidekiq tries to establish connection to Redis in test environment. I'm using sidekiq 3.2.2 with rspec-sidekiq 2.0.0.beta on rails 4.1.4 with ruby 2.1.2

Here is my test

require 'rails_helper'

describe FetchWorker::FetchWorker do
 it 'runs in fetch queue' do
   expect(subject).to be_processed_in :fetch
 end
 it 'not retry when it fails' do 
   expect(subject).to be_retryable false
 end

 it 'enqueues the new job' do
   FactoryGirl.create(:history, running: false)
   FetchWorker::FetchWorker.perform_async 'FetchWorker', true
   expect(FetchWorker::FetchWorker).to have_enqueued_job('FetchWorker', true)
 end # enqueue job

 describe '#perform' do
  let!(:settleddate) { (Time.now - 2.minutes).iso8601(10) }
  let!(:lock_date) { (Time.now - 5.minutes).iso8601(10) }
   context 'success' do
    before do 
     FactoryGirl.create(:history, running: false, NEW_TRANSACTIONS: lock_date)
     FactoryGirl.create(:abp_transaction, settleddate: settleddate, settledyn: 1, transactiontypeid: 1, accountid: 10966)
    end
    it 'perform worker' do
     user = FactoryGirl.build_stubbed(:user, account_id: 10966)
     worker = FetchWorker::FetchWorker.new
     worker.perform
     expect(user.transactions.count).to eq(1)
    end # it perform worker
   end # context success

context 'fail' do
  it 'perform worker' do
    FactoryGirl.create(:history, running: false, NEW_TRANSACTIONS: lock_date)
    FactoryGirl.create(:abp_transaction, settleddate: settleddate, settledyn: 1, transactiontypeid: 1, accountid: 10966)
    user = FactoryGirl.build_stubbed(:user, account_id: 10966)
    worker = FetchWorker::FetchWorker.new
    allow(worker).to receive(:process_transactions).and_raise('some error')
    expect{ worker.perform }.to raise_error
   end # it perform worker
  end # context fail
 end # describe perform
end # describe FetchWorker

If I try to run bundle exec rspec with working redis, I'm getting pretty nice output:

retgoat@ubuntu:/media/sf_offside/agent_system$ bundle exec rspec

But if I try to run tests with stopped redis I'm getting this:

I just have no idea why it happens.

I'm also opened a new issue in sidekiq on Github https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/issues/1907

Could you please help with that?

Many thanks.

UPDATE

As @infused mentioned there is a bug: https://github.com/tobiassvn/sidetiq/issues/103

Here is the workaround:

    recurrence { minutely(5) } unless Rails.env.test?

Worked like a charm! :)

Many thanks
