How to set sidekiq options for ActionMailer / ActiveJob / MailDeliveryJob
# in default config, ActionMailer will use sidekiq wrapped in ActiveJob
# This makes it so there is no obvious/direct place to specify configuration
# It's easy to do with the below method, which can be placed in an initializer
Rails.application.config.after_initialize do
ActionMailer::MailDeliveryJob.class_eval do
sidekiq_options retry: 2

How to see which rubocop file is being evaluated

If you are in a situation where rubocop is hanging on a file but you don't know which one, afaik there is no way to have rubocop pring each filename as it runs it. None of the formatters do this and there is no verbose mode. Even --debug does not do this.

Here is a hack to (very slowly) invoke rubocop once for each candidate file:

bundle exec rubocop --list-target-files > files.txt
cat files.txt | xargs -L1 -n1 bundle exec rubocop # this works on macos/bsd, use --verbose instead of -t on linux

apt-file find psql
apt-file find bin/psql
apt-file find postgresql.conf
apt-file find --fixed-string convert # equivalent of .*convert.*, way too much
apt-file find --fixed-string /usr/bin/convert # need to know exact path
apt-file find --regexp '.*bin/convert$' # bingo. would also pick up .../sbin/
