running sidekiq job in console

working with clients database locally has to be done without having sidekiq running to prevent side-effects like causing relay-interactins, mail-sends and others. but. sometimes, to debug burried mantraps you have to use the local connsole and you like to execute a task, which is usually performed by sidekiq. there is a simple way to run those tasks locally.

asuming that you have one item in your queue to execute, you can easy run:

job = Sidekiq::Queue.new("low").first
job.klass.constantize.new.perform(*job.args)

if you have to find something by the id shown in backend, you can utilize the Sidekiq API for distinct access.
