Sidekiq & Redis

If this is a new mac, then make sure you install Redis on this machine using homebrew:

brew install redis

Start up Sidekiq:

bundle exec sidekiq -q default -q mailers

The reason you must use code above to start sidekiq install of just “sidekiq” is this will ensure it will watch the ActiveJob and ActiveMailer queues.

If you see this error: “Error connecting to Redis on 127.0.0.1:6379” then run this (once), then you can close that tab, then run Sidekiq:

redis-server
