Confused by correct ActiveJob use

Rails
1

I am confused by the ActiveJob (sucker_punch) interaction with
ActiveRecords.

After a while the application is running, logs start receiving:

[…]
E, [2015-03-19T12:48:20.770265 #31422] ERROR – : Actor crashed!
ActiveJob::DeserializationError: Error while trying to deserialize
arguments: OCIError: ORA-03135: connessione interrotta
ID processo: 16538
[…]

It looks the actor is trying to use a stale ActiveRecord session.

Apart from the actor, ActiveRecords works fine in the application.
Connection to db is ok.

Is it possibile actors are “detached” from application so they are
unable
to check out a new connection from the pool?

How can I avoid that?

Pointers are greatly appreciated,

thank you,

Francesco

I found useful the following:

  1. wrap ActiveRecord calls in a

ActiveRecord::Base.connection_pool.with_connection
block.
It was written on the sucker_punch documentation;

  1. while invoking active_job tasks, avoid using GlobalID.
    I feel the deserialization of the activerecord object was the casus
    belli     of the failure I experienced.
