I couldn’t find any posts about how to make sure the code I’m running inside my run_later block is getting called. Here’s the situation.

app/controllers/awesome.rb

app/controllers/awesome_spec.rb

This will fail, because Awesome.import_massive_junk just gets added to the work_queue and hasn’t bee run in time for the test to finish and fail. You could just put ‘sleep 1’ in there, but that would just be stupid. Instead I found just calling the proc in the work_queue does the trick:

app/controllers/awesome_spec.rb

Hope this helps someone out. If you find a better way let me know!
