Error: Event loop is closed when running asyncio + sentinel examples

[pedroplytix]

Version: redis-py: 5.2 / redis 6.2.7

Platform: Python 3.12.7 on Debian (Docker container: python:3.12.7-slim-bookworm)

Description: Running the example provided in redis-py documentation to connect to sentinel using asyncio:

import asyncio
from redis.asyncio.sentinel import Sentinel

async def main():
    sentinel = Sentinel([("localhost", 26379), ("sentinel2", 26379)])
    r = sentinel.master_for("mymaster")

    ok = await r.set("key", "value")
    assert ok
    val = await r.get("key")
    assert val == b"value"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

I get this error:

Exception ignored in: <function AbstractConnection.__del__ at 0x7f53bc6e14e0>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/redis/asyncio/connection.py", line 215, in __del__

    f"(service={pool.service_name}"
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ReferenceError: weakly-referenced object no longer exists

If I try to close the connection after assert val == b"value":

...
    assert val == b"value"
    await r.aclose()
...

I get this error:

    raise RuntimeError('Event loop is closed')
RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

Checking with older redis-py versions, I've checked that this code worked fine in redis==5.0.0 and redis==5.0.1, but started to fail in redis==5.0.2

I get the same error in redis==5.1.0 , 5.2.0

Have you tried also adding await sentinel.aclose() ?

[IlianIliev]

Ok, I dug a bit into the problem and I kind of managed to reproduce it. For me, the error is thrown only if the service name does not match the one of the actual sentinel. For example:

    r = sentinel.master_for("mymaster")  # wrong name, causes the event loop closed
    r = sentinel.master_for("redis-py-test")  # correct name, everything works

With that said, please open your redis.conf and check if the name of the service matches the one you are providing. This should solve the issue you are facing.

As for the actual reason to see this error instead of a more informative one, I will have to dig a bit more to see what causes it.

[pedroplytix]

@IlianIliev it is not my case:

127.0.0.1:26379> sentinel master other
(error) ERR No such master with that name

127.0.0.1:26379> sentinel master mymaster
 1) "name"
 2) "mymaster"

Before I ran the script, I check key key in redis and it is empty:

127.0.0.1:6379> get key
(nil)

After I ran the test:

> python app.py

If I query redis for key key:

127.0.0.1:6379> get key
"value"

Thanks for reaching out! Will start an investigation on this

@pedroplytix You're right, it's started since 5.0.2 because of this PR. It's a part of 5.0.2 release

https://github.com/redis/redis-py/pull/3001/files#diff-9d65b3446d551c0ed9e7bb0a16cf7b31f8b94c1024b9bf05afaa63ce70950019R29

Looks like up to this point garbage collector already removed an original ConnectionPool object, so it's impossible to reference it
