Finished jobs don't show up as finished

[sedubois]

On my dev machine, jobs run correctly and are correctly marked in the dashboard as 'finished', and I can see that performed_at and finished_at are present when printing GoodJob::ActiveJobJob.last in the console. This is true in development both when using the default async execution_mode and also when overriding it with external and running bundle exec good_job start separately.

However when running the same code in staging (Rails.env = production), jobs also run correctly but they always show up as 'unfinished' in the dashboard, and performed_at and finished_at remain nil. How to go about finding the cause of this?

Apologies: the worker was not started in the Heroku staging environment!
