delayed-job

Trying to queue a job with delayed_job as follows:

Delayed::Job.enqueue(BackgroundProcess.new(current_user, object))

current_user and object are not nil when I print them out. The weird thing is that sometimes refreshing the page or running the command again works!

Here is the exception trace:

  Delayed::Backend::ActiveRecord::Job Columns (44.8ms)   SHOW FIELDS FROM `delayed_jobs`
