undefined method `connect' for Redis:Class

[smondalwsgc]

I see websocket-rails using old redis version. Redis has no longer support connect method.
Here is the changelog. Redis has changed this long back 1 Nov 2015

redis/redis-rb@895cc32#diff-4ac32a78649ca5bdd8e0ba38b7006a1eR3.

Can you please support websocket-rails with latest redis? Or should I create pull request?

Is this still open?

I ran into this problem recently. my workaround fo was to bring back the connect method to Redis by creating an initializer that will add the method to the Redis class.
Create a new file config/initializers/redis.rb and add the following to it

Redis.class_eval do
 def self.connect(options = {})
   new(options)
 end
end
