Promisify broken!

[jhohlfeld]

Hello everyone,

I am using node_redis 2.2.5

I think the promisification might break in this version. Follwing the README.md brought no success:

var redis = require('redis');
bluebird.promisifyAll(redis.RedisClient.prototype);

I also tried using the approach as seen in #606 (comment):

var Promise = require("bluebird");
Promise.promisifyAll(require("redis"));
var db = redis.createClient...
db.getAsync(key).then()
...

And finally:

var redis = bluebird.promisifyAll(require('redis'));

However, I could not use the .then() interface at all:

// var redis = require('redis');
// bluebird.promisifyAll(redis.RedisClient.prototype);
var redis = bluebird.promisifyAll(require('redis'));
var client = redis.createClient(_options.redisUrl);
client.hgetall(_hash).then( /*...*/ );

The VM simply keeps saying TypeError: client.hgetall(...).then is not a function. Is there a problem with the current implementation of node_redis or am i just too stupid to do it right?

cheers

Jakob

I have to add, the current tag v.2.3.0 seems to have this error as well.

@jhohlfeld please use client.hgetallAsync(_hash).then(res => {}); as described in the readme
