Value too long error on decorated job

Getting this error on a decorated function that takes in text optimized for vector embedding:

(Postgrex.Error) ERROR 22001 (string_data_right_truncation) value too long for type character varying(255)

@job queue: :embeddings
def insert_embedding(%{text: text}) do

Usually I’ve ran into this because a schema somewhere is set to :string type instead of :text; and it would normally need a migration to change the type.

e.g

      add :title, :string # only allows up to 255 length
      add :description, :text # allows variable length

Hope that’s helpful to you.

Oban doesn’t use varchar (the :string type) for any columns. All columns use the :text type instead, and args in particular uses jsonb.

Is it possible that the error is coming from application code, within the function itself?
