Error connecting to Redis on 127.0.0.1:6379 (Errno::ECONNREFUSED) - Wercker

Question

I'm using wercker for running specs of my rails app. I have problem with setting up redis on wercker. In my rails app I have redis.rb which looks like this:

if Figaro.env.rediscloud_url
  uri = URI.parse(Figaro.env.rediscloud_url)
  REDIS = Redis.new(host: uri.host, port: uri.port, password: uri.password)
elsif ENV['WERCKER_REDIS_HOST'] && ENV['WERCKER_REDIS_PORT']
  REDIS = Redis.new(host: ENV['WERCKER_REDIS_HOST'], port: ENV['WERCKER_REDIS_PORT'])
else
  REDIS = Redis.new
end

In wercker I set WERCKER_REDIS_HOST enviromental variable to: 127.0.0.1 and WERCKER_REDIS_PORT to 6379

When I start my specs it returns:

 Redis::CannotConnectError:

How can I fix that?

Answer 1

I had the same problem, but I found a fix:

Start Redis manually in terminal with redis-server

Answer 2

I had the same issue and the steps I used to solve this in Mac OSX Catalina were:

1. Install redis (if not installed)

brew install redis

2. Start the redis server (thanks @Mirror318)

redis-server

or to start in background

# By default Redis does not run as a daemon. Use 'yes' to use it
redis-server --daemonize yes
