Cannot pass params to sidekiq - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am building a worker for a controller action, but sidekiq will not boot due to me calling params in the perform method. Any ideas on how to get this to work?
controller
def call_warrants_with_date_range
CallLogWorker.perform_async(params[:call_log])
redirect_to call_logs_path, notice: 'Calls were successfully made.'
end
worker
class CallLogWorker
include Sidekiq::Worker
def perform(params[:call_log])
client = Twilio::REST::Client.new TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, TWILIO_ACCOUNT_AUTH_TOKEN
start_date = params[:call_log][:warrant_start_date]
end_date = params[:call_log][:warrant_end_date]
query = "SELECT people.id, warrants.warn_type, warrants.warn_date_issued, phone_numbers.phone_number
FROM people
LEFT OUTER JOIN warrants ON people.id = warrants.person_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN phone_numbers ON people.id = phone_numbers.person_id
WHERE warrants.warn_date_issued BETWEEN ? AND ? AND warrants.warn_type = 'AW'"
#numbers = CallLog.find_by_sql(["#{query}", start_date, end_date])
#numbers.each do |dial|
begin
call = client.account.calls.create(
:from => TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER,
:to => dial.phone_number,
:url => 'http://twimlets.com/echo?Twiml=hello%20this%20is%20a%20test%20call%20please%20hang%20up&'
)
CallLog.create!({ phone: dial.phone_number, status: call.status,
warrant_start_date: start_date, warrant_end_date: end_date, person_id: dial.id})
Note.create!({ body: call.status, person_id: dial.id })
rescue Exception => e
CallLog.create!({ phone: dial.phone_number, status: call.status, exception: e.to_s,
warrant_start_date: start_date, warrantend_date: end_date, person_id: dial.id})
Note.create!({ body: e.to_s, person_id: dial.id })
end
end
end
end

In your worker:
def perform(params)
start_date = params[:call_log][:warrant_start_date]
end_date = params[:call_log][:warrant_end_date]
...etc
end
And then in your controller:
CallLogWorker.perform_async(params)
So you're parsing the hash params into the worker from the controller and then referring to it in your worker.
It's generally considered good practice to keep the data you pass into Sidekiq jobs as small as possible - see here for best practices. So you could go further and have:
In your worker:
def perform(start_date, end_date)
...job content
end
And in your controller:
CallLogWorker.perform_async(
params[:call_log][:warrant_start_date],
params[:call_log][:warrant_end_date]
)
