Hi,

If I’m not mistaken, you have to set `DISCOURSE_LOG_SIDEKIQ` env variable to `1`, as per [discourse/app/jobs/base.rb at 7c768a2ff99f45ab5008c16cf6982652d576a0e2 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/7c768a2ff99f45ab5008c16cf6982652d576a0e2/app/jobs/base.rb#L132), otherwise the `write_to_log` function will return without dumping the log (see [discourse/app/jobs/base.rb at 7c768a2ff99f45ab5008c16cf6982652d576a0e2 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/7c768a2ff99f45ab5008c16cf6982652d576a0e2/app/jobs/base.rb#L124))

Hope this helps.
