ActiveJob and Sidekiq jobs stuck in enqueued - ruby-on-rails

Question

So I just migrated to Rails 5.1.4 and I'm trying to make Active Job work, but the jobs are just stuck in the queue and never processed.
rails: 5.1.4
ruby: 2.4.3
sidekiq: 5.0.5
redis: 4.0.1
sidekiq.yml
---
:verbose: true
:concurrency: 5
:timeout: 60
development:
:concurrency: 25
staging:
:concurrency: 50
production:
:concurrency: 5
:queues:
- default
- [high_priority, 2]
sidekiq.rb
Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
config.redis = {url: ENV['ACTIVE_JOB_URL'], network_timeout: 5}
end
Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
config.redis = {url: ENV['ACTIVE_JOB_URL'], network_timeout: 5}
end
Here the is how I perform the task from the rails console:
TestJob.perform_later
TestJob.rb content:
class TestJob < ApplicationJob
queue_as :default
def perform(*args)
Rails.logger.debug "#{self.class.name}: I'm performing my job with arguments: #{args.inspect}"
end
end
The jobs are just stuck in the queue and never processed:

Answer 1

Have you started the worker, eg in development it might be:
bundle exec sidekiq
If in production Heroku should do this for you, if you have configured your Procfile, eg:
web: bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb
worker: bundle exec sidekiq
You can also use your Procfile in development with foreman, eg:
foreman start -f Procfile
