Class "Redis" Not Found laravel 8, using phpredis

Viewed 3481

I am using laravel 8, and it is throwing error, when ever I tried to run:

php artsian config:clear

On laravel, this is my config value (because I am trying to use phpredis):

'client' => env('REDIS_CLIENT', 'phpredis'),

I could use redis-cli and ping at the moment. Not, just that I could hit the following endpoint successfully.

    public function testRedis()
    {
        Redis::set('ping','pong');
        $ping = Redis::get('ping');
        dd($ping);
    }

It prints out pong successfully.

but I am receiving class Redis not found. Whenever I tried to run, php artisan config:clear

Full error looks like this:

  Class "Redis" not found

    protected $guarded = ['id'];
    protected $dates = ['created_at','updated_at'];

    protected $casts = [

        'updated_at' => 'datetime:Y-m-d',
    ];

    const STRIPE_ENVIRONMENT = ['test', 'live'];

    public static function getCachedValue(){
        return Cache::rememberForever('settings', function () {
            return Setting::pluck('key_value', 'key_name');
        });
    }

    public static function updateCachedSettingsData(){
        Cache::forget('settings');
        self::getCachedValue();
    }
}

What, I might be doing wrong here. #PS: This line on my config/app is commented.

// 'Redis' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis::class,

Okay, I found the issue, there was updated pushed to ubuntu, and with this update looks like default php was updated to php8.0, previously it was 7.4. So, running following command fix the issue.

sudo apt-get install php8.0-redis

It looks like it was missing redis extension for php 8.0
