Using sidekiq-unique-jobs gem

Question

I'm trying to use the sidekiq-unique-jobs but honestly can't get it to do anything it's supposed to do. I'm trying to not be able to queue the same job multiple times (while it's already in the queue or running), but as you see here, I kick off a worker with the same ID 3 times and it runs each time.

Rails 5.2.1 Sidekiq 6.0.6

Any ideas?

Here's the worker:

class RefreshLoginWorker

  include Sidekiq::Worker
  include Sidekiq::Status::Worker

  sidekiq_options queue: 'credentials', :retry => false, lock: :until_executed

  def perform item_id
    sleep 5
  end

end

Here we kick off some job one after another:

irb(main):016:0> RefreshLoginWorker.perform_async 20
=> "4e83f7a419b9aa047860af77"
irb(main):017:0> RefreshLoginWorker.perform_async 20
=> "682776c2fb45866f35cbf87f"
irb(main):018:0> RefreshLoginWorker.perform_async 20
=> "962dc0bae18cfc4ede6aea18"

Sidekiq log:

Firstly use gem 'sidekiq-unique-jobs' and then bundle. After installation you should enable sidekiq-unique-jobs with SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.enabled. For more details follow sidekiq-unique-jobs
