Using devise-async to send out emails does not wor

I have sidekiq (2.15.2), devise (3.2.0) and devise-async (0.9.0) in my Rails app.

I am trying to get devise-async to take over sending out emails. but without luck. I have followed the instructions like this:

Add :async to User model:

# models/user.rb
class User
  include Mongoid::Document
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable, :confirmable, :async
end

Create an initializer:

# config/initializers/devise_async.rb
Devise::Async.backend = :sidekiq

I have not made any custom modificationsin my mailer

# config/initializers/devise_async.rb
Devise.setup do |config|
  config.mailer_sender = "my@email.com"
  # config.mailer = "Devise::Mailer"
end

Here is what shows in the console when creating a new account:

My Sidekiq log does not show anything though.

Any ideas?

Set Devise::Async.queue = :default.
