StackExchange.Redis failing to connect with Mono in Mac OS X

Question

I'm trying to run a very simple Redis client on Mono in Mac OS X with the following options: ``` var configOptions = new ConfigurationOptions() { EndPoints = { { "localhost", 6379 }, }, ResolveDns = true, KeepAlive = 180 }; StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(configOptions, tw); ``` It fails to connect. Here is the trace: ``` localhost:6379,keepAlive=180,resolveDns=True Using DNS to resolve 'localhost'...

Accepted Answer

I had the same problem using the nuget package directly. I've cloned the StackExchange.Redis repo and created a new DLL with the included bash command for mono:

```
./monobuild.bash
```

Referenced the resulting DLL and it worked flawlessly on OSX with the exact code that you've placed on the question.
