call on getContainer() on class that extends ContainerAwareJob gives an error

[echoedexistence]

I have a job that extends ContainerAwareJob and whenever I call $this->getContainer() it always gives me Resque_Job_DirtyExitException Job exited with exit code 255 when looking at the resque.log I can't find anything there that shows what the error is. How do I debug this?

Exit code 255 is a PHP fatal error, meaning you crashed the job process, somehow. You might need to check other PHP logs (I don't recall whether Symfony maintains its own, but PHP normally does; your web server logs won't be helpful here, since the workers run via CLI SAPI).
