Not an issue don't flag it! Missed something in the great doc about fivebeans

Encountered same issue with putting jobs from PHP. It turned out, that fivebeans uses it's format of payload.

To make it work, i actually had to format it on PHP side:

$beanstalk->putInTube('testtube', [
    'testtube', // Tube name has to be in the payload as well
    [
        'type' => 'handler-type', // Handler key defined in JS's options object
        'payload' => $payload // Here goes actual data that worker will receive
    ]
], $priority, $delay);

And my JS code is

var Beanworker = require('fivebeans').worker;
var options =
{
    id: 'my_worker',
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 11300,
    handlers:
    {
        'handler-type': notifier // 'type' in PHP code
    },
    ignoreDefault: true
}
var worker = new Beanworker(options);

worker.start(['testtube']);

I know this issue is old, but hope that helps anyone.
Maybe we really should cover it in Docs though? @ceejbot

@mdjaman You didn't really explain what your problem is.

Would you not use something like the following?

client.watch('testtube', watchErr => {
  if (watchErr) console.log(watchErr)
  client.reserve((err, jobId, rawPayload) => {
    var payload = JSON.parse(rawPayload.toString())
    // Process `payload` here
  })
})
