I had a job object to get NotesFile objects ready for sale. I called it with PrepareNoteFilesForSale.perform_later(notes_file)
This failed. When I checked this job's arguments, it expected an ID,
not a notes_file instance:
PrepareNoteFilesForSale.perform_later(notes_file.id)
This was in contrast to other parts of the job code in my software, which accepted instances instead of IDs.
Harmonize (system wide) whether job code accepts objects or object IDs in order to keep a consistent API.
