Redis early access

[n-rodriguez]

I've found a bug with Sidekiq Worker and Redis :

If Redis is listening on something else than localhost Sidekiq Worker will fail to start with an error : Socket::ConnectError: Error connecting to 'localhost:6379': Connection refused

I tried to configure it manually with :

# Create CLI
cli = Sidekiq::CLI.new

# Create worker
worker = cli.create
worker.redis = Sidekiq::RedisConfig.new(**redis_config)

but it breaks at worker = cli.create and worker.redis = Sidekiq::RedisConfig.new(**redis_config) is never reached.

It thinks it's due to https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq.cr/blob/master/src/sidekiq/server/server.cr#L40 which creates a Pool which creates a RedisConfig with default values that cannot work.

I know it can be worarounded by using env vars but what if I don't want to use it? (I already have a configuration file for my application)

I see... an API like Sidekiq.configure_server(&block) that exists in Ruby or something else is missing.

The current workaround as you said is using the env var, OTOH this issue is easy to fix.

I just noticed that this is already implemented, just not documented, so I just add the code to do the redis configuration to the example, basically you do:

cli = Sidekiq::CLI.new
server = cli.configure do |config|
  config.redis = Sidekiq::RedisConfig.new("localhost", 6379)
end
cli.run(server)
