Hi Folks,
I'm trying to create Redis Client using this
var redis = require('redis');
var redisClient = redis.createClient({host:'127.0.0.1', port:6379});

but it throws me this errors
else {
82 | cnx_options.port = +options.port || 6379;
83 | cnx_options.host = options.host || '127.0.0.1';

84 | cnx_options.family = !options.family && net.isIP(cnx_options.host) || (options.family === 'IPv6' ? 6 : 4);
| ^ 85 | this.address = cnx_options.host + ':' + cnx_options.port;
86 | } // Warn on misusing deprecated functions
87 |

Please anyone suggest any workaround on this.

Thanks

Start by reproducing redis.createClient({host:'127.0.0.1', port:6379}) with node-redis 2.8.0 on Windows, then inspect the connection setup containing the net.isIP call shown in the trace. Done means the client initializes without the reported TypeError and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
