set(unique_for: ...) not working with ActiveJob

[lorrin]

Ruby version: 3.1.4p223
Rails version: 6.1.7
Sidekiq / Pro / Enterprise version(s): sidekiq= 7.1.4 / pro 7.1.4 / ent 7.1.2

https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/wiki/Ent-Unique-Jobs#bypassing-or-dynamically-setting-uniqueness describes using .set(unique_for: ...) to dynamically set uniqueness on a specific job. This isn't working for me through ActiveJob. Is it supposed to work in ActiveJob? Would I set it the same way?

For context, I have a job that is intentionally unique, but which sometimes wants to re-enqueue a future execution of itself using e.g. MyJob.set(wait: delay, unique_for: false).perform_later(...). Happy to have other suggestions.

If you are using an old version, have you checked the changelogs to see if your issue has been fixed in a later version?

Checked, didn't spot anything.

It's possible the problem is using a Symbol instead of a String. Sidekiq stringifies everything but I don't know that ActiveJob does. Try "unique_for" => false instead.

Hmm, no luck with MyJob.set("unique_for" => false).perform_later(...). It still gives me Skipping enqueue for MyJob, not unique

I can't explain what's wrong. You'll need to step thru it with a debugger.
