RedisException with DDEV

[long wasp]

I am trying to run my tests and I'm getting this error. I'm. using DDEV with docker to serve the application. Does anyone have any ideas of what's going wrong here?

Looks like you’re using an incorrect value for the Redis host. You also probably shouldn’t be interacting with real services like Redis in your test suite; Laravel uses drivers for things like the cache and session so that you can set them to “mock” array-based implements rather than using something like Redis.

Gotcha. So do you have any ideas of places I could start looking to resolve this?

Well you first need to look at what hostname Laravel is trying to use for Redis, because whatever value it’s using it’s not able to access.

Then you can start going through your code and remove anything hard-coded to use Redis.
