How to query Redis from an Exq worker?

Questions / Help
1

I am in the process of migrating from Ruby/Sidekiq workers over to Elixir with Exq.

I can push jobs into Redis through Sidekiq, and my Elixir workers receive them, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to query Redis directly from the Exq worker. In Ruby, I would’ve done something like:

Sidekiq.redis go |red|
red.get(some_key)
.
.
.
end

Is there some similar facility in Exq? I was looking through the docs at Exq.Redis.Connection, but I’m not having much luck getting this to work. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

In case anyone else runs into the same situation that I was - here’s the solution:

Exq.Redis.Connection.qp!(:sys.get_state(Exq).redis, [["keys", "*"]])
