If the Redis CLI seems to hang forever when running it from the Windows Bash environment, it may be due to some compatibility issues or incorrect setup. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

  1. Check Redis Server: Ensure that the Redis server is running and accessible. You can use the redis-cli command to check if the server is reachable from the Windows Bash environment:

    php
    redis-cli -h <redis_server_ip> -p <redis_port>

    Replace <redis_server_ip> and <redis_port> with the actual IP address and port of your Redis server. If the connection is successful, you should see the Redis prompt (127.0.0.1:6379> or similar).

  2. Firewall or Antivirus: Check if there are any firewalls or antivirus software running on your system that might be blocking the Redis CLI or causing network-related issues. Temporarily disable any such software and try running the Redis CLI again.

  3. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Update: Make sure you have the latest version of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) installed on your Windows machine. Microsoft frequently releases updates and bug fixes for WSL, so keeping it up to date might resolve potential compatibility issues.

  4. Use Native Redis Client: Instead of running the Redis CLI from the Windows Bash environment, you can try using a native Redis client for Windows, such as the Redis Desktop Manager or redis-cli for Windows. These clients are specifically designed for Windows and may work more smoothly in this environment.

  5. Use Windows Native Terminal: If none of the above solutions work, consider running the Redis CLI directly from the Windows native terminal (Command Prompt or PowerShell) instead of using the Windows Bash environment. Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell and run the redis-cli command.

  6. Alternative Redis Implementations: If you continue to face issues with the Redis CLI on Windows Bash, consider using an alternative Redis implementation specifically designed for Windows, such as Redis on Windows (Redis compiled for Windows).

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the Redis CLI hanging on the Windows Bash environment.
