Answer 1

You're not storing the reset_token in the database - you're storing the reset_digest.

When you don't use workers, you're storing the reset_token in the User instance, then passing that same User instance to your mailer - hence the reset_token is still available.

When you use workers, your worker only has the User's ID, so it's reloading the User instance from the database. Because the reset_token isn't being stored in the database, it's coming back nil.

Either you should be saving the reset_token in the database, or your password email should be using reset_digest in the URL.
