Framework: Must be an instance of Illuminate\Redis\Database, instance of Redis given

[eComEvo]

Latest Laravel 5.1.10 is spitting out this error when cache=redis in the config. Only happens with cache.

ErrorException in RedisStore.php line 39:

Can't replicate. Please ask on the fourms.

I have the same issue. Did you ever find a fix, @eComEvo?

[eComEvo]

@goodevilgenius I'm at Laravel 5.4 now and no longer experience the issue. An upgrade might be your best route.

I was on Lumen 5.6. Fully upgraded.

Turns out the issue for me was that I failed to register the RedisServiceProvider.
