How can Redis be used?

[vorlif]

Detailed description of the problem [REQUIRED]

I have installed Redis and use it with other projects. So I wanted to use it with Lychee as well and expected a little better performance from it.

Unfortunately I always get an error message when I set the 'CACHE_DRIVER' to 'redis'.

production.ERROR: Redis connection [cache] not configured. {"exception":"[object] (InvalidArgumentException(code: 0): Redis connection [cache] not configured. at /var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Redis/RedisManager.php:119)

Steps to reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the .env-File with an editor
2. Set CACHE_DRIVER=redis
3. Save the file

Yes, that is set and also correct.

Interesting. I'm not sure where it's getting "cache" from. It looks like we set "default" and that the function throwing the error will use "default" unless told otherwise.

Unfortunately I don't think anyone on the team uses redis, so this doesn't get much testing. It has definitely worked for other users though.

[d7415]

Do you have predis or php-redis installed?

[vorlif]

Do you have predis or php-redis installed?

php-redis is installed.

I am not a PHP developer, but I have tried the following: I have changed this line to default. Then I get a new error message:

[2020-05-26 14:14:26] production.ERROR: Class 'Predis\Client' not found {"exception":"[object] (Error(code: 0): Class 'Predis\\Client' not found at /var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Redis/Connectors/PredisConnector.php:29)

I think I could install Predis via composer now - but then I wouldn't be able to get updates via git because the composer.json file has changed, right?

[d7415]

php-redis is installed. :+1:

I have changed this line to default.

That'll be where it gets "cache" from then!

Then I get a new error message:

[2020-05-26 14:14:26] production.ERROR: Class 'Predis\Client' not found {"exception":"[object] (Error(code: 0): Class 'Predis\\Client' not found at /var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Redis/Connectors/PredisConnector.php:29)

Ok. That's the error message encountered here, but that was fixed by installing php-redis...

I think I could install Predis via composer now - but then I wouldn't be able to get updates via git because the composer.json file has changed, right?

I wouldn't recommend it - php-redis should replace predis.

Interesting, thanks for your help. After changing the client here to 'phpredis' it works. Was lychee designed to change files in the `config' folder?

[d7415]

After changing the client here to 'phpredis' it works.

Yay!

Was lychee designed to change files in the `config' folder?

No. by the sound of it we should either change that to an environment variable like the other items or, with the "Predis has been abandoned by the package's original author and may be removed from Laravel in a future release." message, just change the default.

@ildyria ?

[ildyria]

No clue.
