How to resolve deserialization error in delayed job?

Question

I am trying to use DelayedJob and the job is failing, giving the following error in the database:

{Delayed::DeserializationError
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/delayed_j         


        

Answer 1

Michiel is right. Look at your handler field for objects like "!ruby/ActiveRecord:YourClassName"

Then check if objects can be retrieved via the primary key

From the console you can also test this out by doing something like:

# first job in your delayed queue
YAML.load(Delayed::Backend::ActiveRecord::Job.first.handler)
