Why is delayed job not creating a 'handler' when I use delay?

Question

I'm trying to use delayed job for the first time in my rails 3 app.

I have a method that looks something like this, which calls a long running method which I want to put into the delayed job queue.

def complete_order()
    self.paid_at = Time.now
    self.delay.long_running_stuff
end

The result of running this method is an entry in my delayed_jobs table with a NULL value in the handler field.

I have no idea why and can't think of how to debug this. Any ideas why?

Is complete_order a method on an ActiveRecord model? What does the long_running_stuff method look like? — , Dec 02 '11 at 03:42

The problem was attr_accessible
