Description

Still getting AVV_ERR_READY_TIMEOUT on redis connection. Even though redis server is running locally.

AvvioError [Error]: Plugin did not start in time: '@fastify/redis'. You may have forgotten to call 'done' function or to resolve a Promise

Here's my sample code:

'use strict'

const fp = require('fastify-plugin')
const fastifyRedis = require('@fastify/redis');
const Redis = require('ioredis');

const redisClient = new Redis(
  {
    host: process.env.REDIS_HOST,
    port: process.env.REDIS_PORT,
    closeClient: true
  }
);

/**
 * This plugins handles redis config
 *
 * @see https://github.com/fastify/fastify-redis
 */
module.exports = fp(async function (fastify, opts) {
  fastify.register(fastifyRedis, {
    client: redisClient,
    lazyConnect: false
  });
})

Steps to Reproduce

Add the above code to plugin and run fastify server.

Expected Behavior

Should just connect to redis.

This is not reproducable. Timeouts happen if the server is not reachable.

This is not reproducable. Timeouts happen if the server is not reachable.

But I'm able to connect to local redis server from node express codebase.

Did it work or did you close out of frustration?

[anistark]

no it worked. I realised it was unreachable to this server port cause of a proxy config. My bad. Apologies for inconvenience.

For anyone looking at this issue and unable to find an answer to their question, this is how I solved it:

So I thought registering the @fasitift/redis plugin would automatically start a "Redis Server", but this is not the case. This only connects your Fastify instance and the externally setup Redis server to each other.

You can easily run a Redis server in the background with Docker.
