perform_later will reset CurrentAttributes

[gap777]

We're using CurrentAttributes to track user_id:

class Current < ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes
  attribute  :user_id
end

When we call perform_later on a job, this is reset in the caller's context:

puts Current.user_id # "abcdef"
MyJob.perform_later
puts Current.user_id # nil

I don't think that should happen.

GoodJob::Adapter#enqueue_at invokes Rails.application.executor.wrap -- perhaps this is the cause?

FYI, my config.good_job.execution_mode is set to :async.

Perhaps this is related?

Yes, that issue looks vaguely familiar. I adapted the repro for good_job and the result is the same:

Repro

# frozen_string_literal: true

require "bundler/inline"

gemfile(true) do
  source "https://rubygems.org"

  git_source(:github) { |repo| "https://github.com/#{repo}.git" }

  gem "rails", github: "rails/rails", branch: "main"
  gem "pg"
  gem "good_job", require: false
end

require "active_support/all"
require "active_support/railtie"
require 'active_record/railtie'
require "active_job/railtie"
require "minitest/autorun"
require "good_job"

ENV["DATABASE_URL"] = "postgresql://postgres@localhost:5432/test"

class TestApp < Rails::Application
  config.load_defaults 7.1

  config.active_job.queue_adapter = :inline
  config.eager_load = false

  config.good_job.execution_mode = :async
  config.active_job.queue_adapter = :good_job
end

Rails.application.initialize!

class Current < ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes
  attribute :user
end

class DummyJob < ActiveJob::Base
  def perform
  end
end

class CurrentAttributeTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
  test "CurrentAttributes" do
    Current.user = "test"
    DummyJob.perform_later

    assert_equal("test", Current.user, "CurrentAttributes reset")
  end
end

Not wrapping in the executor does make the test pass. I still am not really understanding its purpose but suspect removing it would result in some other consequences.
