sidekiq-unique-jobs kills sidekiq in production

[twetzel]

since I´m using sidekiq-unique-jobs sidekiq stops working after some hours with really strange errrors like:

• missing mailer templates
• no access to database
• no access to rails
• no bash methods (like pwd isn't available)

my config:

• Ruby 2.2.1
• Rails 4.2.5
• sidekiq 4.1.2
• sidekiq-unique-jobs 4.0.17
• redis (gem) 3.3.0 ... DB-Version 2.8.4
• redis-namespace 1.5.2
  on Ubuntu 14.04

Can`t really say when and how that happens, but sidekiq works perfect yesterday .. today again mailer cant find template .. cant find Model with ID x .. sometimes that even kills the hole app

Everything works fine bevor sidekiq-unique-jobsand now everyday errors .. after restarting sidekiq works fine again ???

hey guys, think I found the solution myself.
after adding sidekiq-unique-jobs capistrano somehow spawned new sidekiq instances instead of replacing the old ones .. so there where still some old instances on the server (which than mean, 6 deployments later, they really had no working directory anymore, because capistrano removed the folder)

no new appearance, of this strange error, till friday .. so I think everything is fine again.

And it was absolutely NOT related to sidekiq-unique-jobs!

.. so sorry for this issue ..
