Parameters turn into String

[felipeclopes]

The issue happens when sidekiq-unique-jobs is added to Gemfile,

Once I added the sidekiq-uniq-jobs all the parameters started being evaluated as string, even simple DateTime ones. I just removed the gem and the system was back to normal.

Is this an expected behavior or is it a bug?

Gemfile.lock

    sidekiq (4.1.2)
      concurrent-ruby (~> 1.0)
      connection_pool (~> 2.2, >= 2.2.0)
      redis (~> 3.2, >= 3.2.1)
    sidekiq-unique-jobs (4.0.17)
      sidekiq (>= 2.6)
      thor

I wonder if this happens only in the newer versions
