require File.expand_path("../../../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'

MyTestVar = '42'

def do_it
  MyTestVar.to_i
end

RSpec.describe 'weird' do
  it 'is weird' do
    expect(MyTestVar).not_to receive(:to_i)
    delay.do_it
    Delayed::Worker.new.work_off
  end

  it 'isnt weird' do
    expect(MyTestVar).to receive(:to_i)
    delay.do_it
    Delayed::Worker.new.work_off
  end
end

If I set

Delayed::Worker.delay_jobs = false

and then of course not call Delayed::Worker.new.work_off everything works.
