Answer 1

You are supposed to add django_redis instead of redis_cache.

The documentation says:

if you are coming from django-redis < 3.8.x, you are probably using redis_cache. Since django-redis 3.8.x, redis_cache module is deprecated in favor to django_redis. The redis_cache module will be removed in 3.9.x versions.

Redis cache backend for Django

Run python setup.py install to install, or place django_redis on your Python path.

You can also install it with: pip install django-redis

I was using docker compose + poetry to manage dependencies, and the solution for me to get rid of this Redis error was:

• On Docker, delete all images and containers associated with the project
• On VSCode, run the command Python: Clear cache and reload windows
• Run docker compose up again

It seems like it was a cache issue, at least in my case.

Maybe there's a more surgical way of doing this, but these steps certainly are helpful when you've already double checked all dependencies and project settings.
