Ones again - NOAUTH Authentication required

Hi, I’m facing an issue that has been reported multiples times, sorry for opening another ticket, but I tried multiples ways, but still getting the same error of NOAUTH Authentication required.

versions

• "ioredis": "^4.27.6",
• Redis 6.2

I creating a redisClient like:

const Redis = require('ioredis');
...
const { redis } = require('../config/config');

const createClient = () => {
  try {
    let redisClient;
    redisClient = new Redis({
      port: redis.redisPort,
      host: redis.redisHost,
      family: 4,
      password: redis.redisPass,
    });
    return redisClient;
  } catch (error) {
    logger.log('error', modules.ServiceModules.REDIS, "Error creating Redis Client", `${error}`);
  }
};

module.exports = {
  createClient,
};

And getting the following error.

{"timestamp":"2021-08-01T00:22:05.375Z","level":"info","hostname":"20a9165bfd1b","service":"BACKEND","module":"EXPRESS","versionService":"1.0.0","versionModule":"1.0","operation":"INITIALIZING SERVER","description":"","operationChannel":"SERVER","entity":"EXPRESS","message":"Server is already listening, on PORT: 4602; and redis pass is = superapassword"}
[ioredis] Unhandled error event: ReplyError: NOAUTH Authentication required.

    at parseType (/usr/src/app/node_modules/redis-parser/lib/parser.js:302:14)

Note: I double-check the password and tested using a GUI Client, and the password is the correct one.

Thank u!

It’s not easy to tell the reason from the code you posted. The error may be returned from a different client. I’d create a minimal reproducible example to see what is the root cause.

Thank you for the orientation, found the issue in the code, as u said an orphan instance.

const Redis = require('ioredis');
const redisClient = new Redis({host: config.redis.redisHost, port: 6379});
