Redis Connection Status is Always "connecting" until explicitly check connections status or run a command #56
Description
Prerequisites
I am trying to verify the presence of an active Redis connection by using Redis.activeConnectionsCount, however, it always returns a value of 0 despite having correct credentials. Upon checking the list of connections in redis-cli, I noticed that there are no active connections except for the one established by redis-cli. The status of the connection also appears as "connecting" when checked using Redis.connection().status.
As a temporary solution, I have implemented a workaround by checking the connection in the boot method of the AppProvider. This establishes the connection once the application is up and running.
Image 1. Status is "connecting".
Image 2. Checking for status. Then wait 5 seconds and then checking for status again. Status is "ready".
Package version
7.3.1
Node.js and npm version
16.17.0 & 8.15.0
Sample Code (to reproduce the issue)
AppProvider.ts
import { ApplicationContract } from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Application'
export default class AppProvider {
constructor(protected app: ApplicationContract) {}
public register() {
// Register your own bindings
}
public async boot() {
const Redis = (await import('@ioc:Adonis/Addons/Redis')).default;
// console.log(Redis.activeConnectionsCount)
// console.log(Redis.connection().status)
await new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(() => resolve(true), 5000)
})
console.log(Redis.activeConnectionsCount) // always 0 if lines 13 and 14 are commented out
console.log(Redis.connection().status) // always "connecting" if lines 13 and 14 are commented out
}
public async ready() {
// App is ready
}
public async shutdown() {
// Cleanup, since app is going down
}
}
