Sails: Redis session server times out inexplicably

I have begun to inexplicably receive error messages on sails start up:

error: error: A hook (`sockets`) failed to load!
verbose: verbo: Lowering sails...
silly:      : Shutting down HTTP server...
silly:      : HTTP server shut down successfully.
error: error: Failed to lift app: Error: Took too long to connect to the specified Redis session server.
You can change the allowed connection time by setting the `timeout` input (currently 15000ms).
    at Timeout._onTimeout (C:\Users\Ishai\Documents\Stellarport\stellar-api\node_modules\machinepack-redis\machines\get-connection.js:166:66)
    at ontimeout (timers.js:475:11)
    at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:310:5)
    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:270:5)

and am no longer able to start up my sails server.

Here is my sockets config:

const socketsConfig = {
    adapter: 'socket.io-redis',
    pubClient: redisClientProvider.get('pub'),
    subClient: redisClientProvider.get('sub'),
    transports: ['websocket'],
    url: redisClientProvider.url(),
    beforeConnect: (handshake, handleBeforeConnectResult) => {
        handleBeforeConnectResult(
            null,
            handshake.headers.origin.indexOf('localhost') !== -1 ||
            handshake.headers.origin.indexOf('lupoex.com') !== -1 ||
            handshake.headers.origin.indexOf('stellarport.io') !== -1
        );
    }
};

I am running [email protected]. The error is originating in machinepack-redis. However, I don't understand why sails is even trying to create a client given that I am passing in the pubClient and subClient in the config.

I stepped through sails-hook-sockets and apparently, it is being called twice. Once with the clients I passed in and once without ... I can't make heads or tails of this. However, this was all working just fine yesterday...

@sgress454 You've been good to me in the past, maybe you have some thoughs =). I've spent a few frustrating hours on this already. Not sure what happened ... everything was working fine and all of a sudden, I can't start er up.

Nvm, looks like this was an issue on my end.

@istrau2 If you can remember from a year ago, how did you solve it with nvm? I'm having your exact problem currently.
