Intermittent failure: test_stop_job_command__success on py3.11/dj5.2.5/fakeredis job

[DhavalGojiya]

Describe the bug

test_stop_job_command__success intermittently fails during the Tests py3.11/dj5.2.5/fakeredis job. Expected worker.current_job_name to be None, but it remains set (e.g. 'default::20251015192502233773').

---

To Reproduce

Run tests under the any matrix job: Ex: py3.11 / dj5.2.5 / fakeredis

• occasionally fails with:

AssertionError: 'default::20251015192502233773' is not None

---

Expected behavior

worker.current_job_name should be cleared (None) after stopping the job.

---

Screenshots

(see attached CI screenshot for failure)

---

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu (GitHub Actions)
• Python: 3.11
• Django: 5.2.5
• Redis: fakeredis backend

---

Additional context

This test fails intermittently - possibly a race condition in the worker’s stop_job() cleanup logic. Adding a small delay or verifying thread shutdown may stabilize it.
