Sidekiq in development environment

I have a longstanding project that is using sidekiq with redis and a problem that has started I believe only since upgrading to sidekiq 3+.

The problem is that I can't run my rails (4.1.4) app in development without first starting a redis server. I get the same error starting the rails server as I get when I try to run bundle exec sidekiq without first starting redis. Running my rails app without redis running was never a problem before, even though sidekiq was setup the same way.

Can someone suggest a way around having to start a redis server even when I don't intend to run sidekiq?

Here is the backtrace:

/Users/mark/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/redis-3.1.0/lib/redis/client.rb:309:in

The backtrace for the error should show where the error is occurring. Please update your question with the relevant error and backtrace. – infused
Ok I added the backtrace. – Mark Fraser
It looks like it is trying to connect to Sidekiq in the recurrence block in pnm_tournament_updater. What's in that block? – infused
recurrence backfill: true do daily.hour_of_day(18) end – Mark Fraser
I think this problem is related to github.com/tobiassvn/sidetiq/issues/103. Unfortunately, the fix has not been pulled into the main repo yet. You can try using the fixed fork in your Gemfile with gem 'sidetiq', github: 'nkondratyev/sidetiq', branch: 'fix_working_with_prefork_servers' to see if it fixes the problem. – infused
