Unable to connect to Redis with correct credentials

I’m attempting to use a newly created Redis user. However, I’m getting the following error:

error: Uncaught (in promise) Error: -WRONGPASS invalid username-password pair

    throw new ErrorReplyError(line);

    at async file://<location>

I’m essentially connecting to the following client via the following:

export const REDIS = await connect(parseURL(Deno.env.get("REDIS_URL")!));

When using my Redis default user, this code works fine. However, when using the new user, it doesn’t. I know the REDIS_URL environmental variable is correct because I’ve used it to access Redis via redis-cli -u <url>.

Please let me know if there’s any more information you need and thank you in advance.

@uki00a all good, I will add a couple tests for the new situations

1. password passed no username passed
2. password and username passed

Will let ya know when its ready to roll, I should be able to complete this tonight once other work is done (I am on GMT)

Thanks for the quick turn-around, this was a breaking issue for me so assume its same for a few others.

suggest you update RedisConnectionOptions to support username?: string and also update authenticate function to check for username and adjust redis command as needed for password/default auth "AUTH", password and if exists "AUTH", username, password

not sure if this is being progressed, if not I am more than willing push these changes as a PR let me know, as I am using a modified local repo for production currently with redis cloud.

also I am not sure where to add tests for this as there are connection tests in /tests/commands/general and /tests/commands/connection polite suggestions encouraged 😉

@uki00a @keroxp I can push a PR from my local branch anytime as its done and I am using in production. (ps. never done a PR request/push to opensource before, but my local version <branched as #300> is ready to be pushed as a PR, if I am added as a contributor.)
