Sorry if it's trivial, but I can't find an answer, so maybe I don't know how to ask the question. I have a simple case:

I do:

SomeMongoidObject.new.save

And after that I want to use the id of new object to start a new background worker process. I can't find how can I get the _id of the newly created object? The save method returns a status.

Could you help me with that?

Did you try this?

mongoid_object = SomeMongoidObject.new
mongoid_object.save

Now you can get the id by simply doing one of the following

mongoid_object.id #=> id will be returned

or 

mongoid_object["_id"]

or

mongoid_object._id

Hope this helps!
