Error when run the code of Example 3 - Caching and Signaling in user guide Sharing State Between Callbacks

Dash Python

Hi,

I try to run the code of sharing state between callbacks in the user guide and I get this error:

ValueError: Redis URL must specify one of the followingschemes (redis://, rediss://, unix://)

Can anyone teach me how to solve this error?

This is the code:

Replace ‘localhost:6379’ with this ‘redis://localhost:6379’ in:
CACHE_CONFIG = {
‘CACHE_TYPE’: ‘redis’,
‘CACHE_REDIS_URL’: os.environ.get(‘REDIS_URL’, ‘redis://localhost:6379’)
}
