Redis failing in CI when running tests
I am getting an error when running tests in CI. The error is related to Redis.
Here's the YAML file:
name: Tests
on:
push:
branches: [ "*" ]
pull_request:
branches: [ "*" ]
jobs:
tests:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
services:
redis:
image: redis
ports:
- 6379/tcp
options: >-
--health-cmd "redis-cli ping"
--health-interval 10s
--health-timeout 5s
--health-retries 5
steps:
- name: Run Tests
env:
APP_ENV: "ci"
REDIS_HOST: redis
REDIS_PORT: 6379
DB_CONNECTION: ${{ secrets.DB_CONNECTION }}
DB_HOST: ${{ secrets.DB_HOST }}
DB_PORT: ${{ secrets.DB_PORT }}
DB_DATABASE: ${{ secrets.DB_DATABASE }}
DB_USER: ${{ secrets.DB_USER }}
DB_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.DB_PASSWORD }}
run: vendor/bin/pest --exclude-group=integration --parallel
I have simplified this to only show the relevant parts.
It makes no difference whether I use redis, phpredis, or predis for the REDIS_CLIENT.

Member Have you considered using a pre-built GitHub action for Redis?
Generally I find them easier to set up and work with.
I’m not at my computer right now so can’t check, but pretty such I use this one!
Member Haven't got around to this yet. Might take some time. Will keep you posted.
Member Here's my full Pest testing setup with Redis included. Hope this helps figure something out.

- uses: shivammathur/setup-php@15c43e89cdef867065b0213be354c2841860869e
with:
php-version: '8.3'
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Copy .env
run: php -r "file_exists('.env') || copy('.env.pest.ci', '.env');"
- name: Install Dependencies
run: composer install -q --no-ansi --no-interaction --no-scripts --no-progress --prefer-dist
- name: Generate key
run: php artisan key:generate
- name: Execute tests
run: ./vendor/bin/pest
In .env.pest.ci:
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_PASSWORD=
REDIS_PORT=6379
Just got around to looking at this. Removing the null password and setting the correct REDIS_HOST in the .env.ci and YAML workflow did the trick.
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_PASSWORD=
