DelayedJob Rails 8.0 Compatibility Error: uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::BasicObject (NameError)

[arielvalentin]

DelayedJob seems to be incompatible with Rails 8 causing our canary tests to fail.

/opt/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.3.5/x64/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/delayed_job-2.0.6/lib/delayed/message_sending.rb:2:in `<module:Delayed>': uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::BasicObject (NameError)

  class DelayProxy < ActiveSupport::BasicObject
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you mean?  BasicSocket

Thanks for opening this issue, @arielvalentin! This PR on the DelayedJob repo might fix the problem: collectiveidea/delayed_job#1219

I think we need to add more appraisals and pin specific supported rails versions.

Hopefully once a compatible version is released we can update the appraisals to test against rails latest.

@kaylareopelle 4.1.13 was released with Rails 8 support. https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job/blob/v4.1.13/CHANGELOG.md#4113---2024-11-08

I am going to close this issue and open a PR to update the matrices.
