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

Not sure where to start in diagnosing this. This has never happened before and I have used delayed job before to serialize model objects without any issues. Why this time?
Thanks in advance!
It's not really a deserialization error, it's an ActiveRecord record-not-found error on a simple Model.find(id) query.
If you want to know the details, log them in the delayed_job-2.1.3/lib/delayed/serialization/active_record.rb
file, in the rescue statement, just before delayed-job stupidly raises the DeserializationError
and throws the useful information away.
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)
I believe this occurs when you run a job against an unsaved or deleted AR object since the deserialization for AR loads the record by id. An exception should probably be thrown if you attempt to delay a method on an unsaved AR object.
There's also a documented bug with DJ when the params passed into the handler field in the DB are longer than a standard TEXT column:
https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job/issues/491
If this happens to be your problem, changing the column to a MEDIUMINT should fix the issue.
I did this in a migration like so:
change_column :delayed_jobs, :handler, :text, :limit => 16777215
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("DELETE FROM delayed_jobs WHERE LENGTH(handler) >= 65535")
You can check to see if it's an issue with a simple DB query:
SELECT * FROM delayed_jobs WHERE LENGTH(handler) >= 65535
If anyone wants to make delayed_job just finish the job as a no-op you can monkey patch with this code in the initializer:
Today, I also suffered through this error and after doing hectic analysis found:
- delayed_job converts methods & parameters to YAML format and stores it into database
- It can be found using
select * from delayed_jobs
; - deserialization error occurs when delayed_job is not able to deserialize it.
Probable causes can be:
- args["xyz"] used before calling delayed_job & inside worker using it as args[:xyz]
- Sometimes extra arguments passed along with object to delayed_job that time delayed_job fails to build object as it is indifferent access.
I Hope this will help!
Sometimes when we upgrade libs delayed jobs still keep old references.
Try to find the id of delayed_job in logs and play to parse its handler to ruby to find the wrong reference
j = DelayedJob.find(XXX)
data = YAML.load_dj(j.handler)
data.to_ruby
I made a pull request to help with this problem.
Meanwhile you can use this lines
# config/initializers/delayed_job.rb
# Monkey patch to use old class references
module Psych
class << self; attr_accessor :old_class_references end
@old_class_references = {}
class ClassLoader
private
def find klassname
klassname = ::Psych.old_class_references[klassname] || klassname
@cache[klassname] ||= resolve(klassname)
end
end
module Visitors
class ToRuby < Psych::Visitors::Visitor
def revive klass, node
if klass.is_a? String
klassname = ::Psych.old_class_references[klass] || klass
klass = Kernel.const_get(klassname) rescue klassname
end
s = register(node, klass.allocate)
init_with(s, revive_hash({}, node), node)
end
end
end
end
# Add all old dependencies (hash keys) pointing to new references (hash values)
Psych.old_class_references = {
'ActiveRecord::AttributeSet' => 'ActiveModel::AttributeSet'
# ...
}
