Issues with redis after MacBook update

Rasa Open Source
1

Hey everyone, has anyone got this Redis Error before? How did you resolve it?

I just updated both of my macbooks to 12.0.1 (Monterey) and on both of my laptops I can’t run rasa anymore. I am getting this error when running rasa actions. Does anyone have ideas on how to resolve this?

I tried reinstalling redis / making sure it runs using “redis-server”, but this didn’t help. Is there a way to disable redis for Rasa at all maybe? I actually don’t have redis in my endpoints so I wonder why am I getting any redis related errors at all.

I’m using python 3.7 and rasa==2.6.2, rasa-sdk==2.6.0, redis==3.5.3.

@llotus_eater Can you please update rasa and rasa-sdk to the latest versions or to rasa and rasa-sdk 2.8.1?

@nik202 I think the problem is in something else. I just found out that from command line it still works perfectly well, however, if I run actions from PyCharm, that’s when I get redis error. I wonder what could have caused it. Any ideas?

@llotus_eater I never worked on PyCharm personally, I hope you installed all the packages for Redis I guess interpreter something like that and even I never worked with miniconda3.
