From #592:

There is still a potential for the error to not fire if https://github.com/richvorp/rollbar-gem/blob/delayed_job_failure_hook/lib/rollbar/plugins/delayed_job/plugin.rb#L48 check fails and the dj_threshold is higher than 0.

An alternative would be to make it always error with:

data = Rollbar::Delayed.build_job_data(job)
::Rollbar.scope(:request => data).error(job.last_error, :use_exception_level_filters => true) if job.last_error

instead of https://github.com/richvorp/rollbar-gem/blob/delayed_job_failure_hook/lib/rollbar/plugins/delayed_job/plugin.rb#L14
