NOTE

Version 7 is installed by CLI, not manually. Probably TypeScript causes this issue.

Hey @flatdragon! 👋

If you are using AdonisJS 4.1, you need to use the @legacy tag to install a package.

npm i @adonisjs/redis@legacy

Hi! Thank you very much. Issue with provider is fixed.

However, what about CLI behavior? I suppose it should then install "@adonisjs/redis@legacy" instead of "@adonisjs/redis:^7.0.0".

I mean that "npm i @adonisjs/redis@legacy" won't auto-publish config file. It's not a big deal to copy it manually, but just wanna inform about this issue, to keep behavior that was described in docs:
https://adonisjs.com/docs/4.1/redis#_setup

Yes. Already working on the fix :)

[andrei-kochetygov]

Just tried out "adonis install @adonisjs/redis@legacy". Installation successfully finished, but config still missing.

Okey, thanks! Have a nice day guys.

Can you please update @adonisjs/cli and try again?

[andrei-kochetygov]

Yep. It's fine for now. Thanks.

Version of "@adonisjs/redis" is ^2.1.0 for now, if it matters.

[RomainLanz]

Cool, perfect then!
