Runtime error when calling get_data from Python middleware

Hello! I’m running Tyk with Redis in minikube cluster. I’m trying to load Redis keys from a Python middleware and getting a runtime error, here’s a snippet from Tyk logs:

Error occurs when get_data APi call is invoked in Python code.
Tyk is able to connect to Redis, at least I see a tyk-liveness-probe key when manually connecting to Redis.

The full Tyk log from the beginning (I just removed sensitive info):

Can you try removing this section in the API definition and trying again?

If it still fails then can you share the manifest file?

Hello @Olu

Removing custom_middleware from my API definition did not help. I still see an empty response from Tyk and runtime error in logs.

Here’s my plugin manifest:

{
  "file_list": [
    "middleware.py"
  ],
  "custom_middleware": {
    "pre": [
      {
        "name": "PreHook"
      }
    ],
    "driver": "python"
  }
}

@Andrey_Nado, I seem to be having the same gateway panic issue or Release Candidate versions. I have asked internally and would get back to you.

Hello @Olu!

The issue still persists in tyk gateway v4.1.0 (recently released).

Is there a bug in my Python middleware or configuration?

Thanks for double checking.

Is there a bug in my Python middleware or configuration?

No I don’t think so. If you were to check it with 4.0.0 and below, it should work fine.

Can you check that and also share your python version?

I am having this same issue, I am using the 3.9 python version. Can anyone help me?

Hi @Lohanna_Sarah,

Welcome to the community :tada:

Are you okay to use any of Tyk Gateway 3.1.2 or 4.0.0? Those versions don’t have this issue.

Alternatively, you may use a Golang plugin. See here: Golang plugin use redis data cache

Some information on your usecase and scenario will be helpful too.

Ok, I will try the 4.0.0 version.

Hey @Lohanna_Sarah, just wanted to check if it works for you now?

Hi, I’m getting the same error in tyk 5.0.0. Is there any fix other than downgrading to 4.0.0 or using Go?

@bls Sorry about this.

There isn’t any other fix at the moment. We will update this thread once there is an update.

Is there any fix for this in progress?

Unfortunately, this is still in the backlog.

The alternative is to make a separate connection to Redis and then modify the key that way
