[Core] ray.wait broken

[dioptre]

What happened + What you expected to happen

ray.wait never completes (used to in a previous version of ray)

id = actor.x.remote()    
go_wait_for_id.remote(id.hex())  

then inside go_wait_for_id:

id = ray.ObjectRef(bytes.fromhex(id))
ray.wait([id],timeout=timeout,fetch_local=False)

ex object_ref:

ObjectRef(c54e76759b2a0c10d9385e62500c13e4abb1422b0100000001000000)

task id in ray dashboard is now

c54e76759b2a0c10d9385e62500c13e4abb1422b01000000

notice the difference

c54e76759b2a0c10d9385e62500c13e4abb1422b0100000001000000
c54e76759b2a0c10d9385e62500c13e4abb1422b01000000

looks like theres a missing 0 in the task id

Versions / Dependencies

Issue Severity

High: It blocks me from completing my task.

Hi @dioptre, it's not expected to work since you are passing the object ref out of band. You can do go_wait_for_id.remote([id]) and retrieve the id from inside go_wait_for_id

We should create a doc talking about this wrong usage and talk about the right way to do it.

Hi @jjyao , is there any progress on this doc feature? If no one else is following up, can you assign it to me?

Hi @Belyenochi , contribution is welcome!
