Adding new job with socket.io socket in data results with fail

[IvanMMM]

Adding new job with socket.io socket in data results with fail with empty error object.

NOT-WORKING:

io.on('connection',function(socket){
queue
.create('getPostData',{socket:socket,data:data})
.attempts(3)
.priority('critical')
.save(function(err){
if(err){
    return io.emit('getPostData',{result:false, message:'Cannot add task to queue',err:err});
    }
});
}

WORKING:

io.on('connection',function(socket){
queue
.create('getPostData',{socketId:socket.id,data:data})
.attempts(3)
.priority('critical')
.save(function(err){
if(err){
    return io.emit('getPostData',{result:false, message:'Cannot add task to queue',err:err});
    }
});
}

And then restoring socket object by it's id.

I don't expect socket object to be serializable on redis. However If the error is not verbose we can make it more clear @IvanMMM
The second approach is the safe one, since you are not sure where your job would land (worker process can be a separate node.js process)
