fix: pass the full Redis URL to redis-cli in appsmithctl enable-form-login - #42235

Conversation
…login appsmithctl efl cleared the cached organization with `redis-cli -h <host> -p 6379`, dropping the username, password, port and TLS scheme from APPSMITH_REDIS_URL. Any Redis that requires authentication (the Helm chart's bundled Redis does by default) answered NOAUTH, the cache entry was never evicted, and form login stayed disabled until the key was deleted by hand. Add utils.toRedisCliUrl / getRedisCliUrl, which hand the configured URL to `redis-cli -u` as-is, map the server-only redis-cluster scheme to redis, and wrap a bare host in a redis scheme. getRedisUrl keeps returning the hostname for callers that need only that.

Split APPSMITH_REDIS_URL into redis-cli flags (-h, -p, --tls, --user) and pass the password through the REDISCLI_AUTH environment variable, so it is not visible in the process table while redis-cli runs. Also read env-file values up to the first "=" only, so a Redis or MongoDB password containing "=" is no longer truncated.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Remove an inherited REDISCLI_AUTH when the URL has no password.
When redis.password is null, redisCliEnv copies process.env. enable_form_login passes this environment to childProcess.spawn, and redis-cli uses REDISCLI_AUTH as its authentication password. An ambient value can therefore make the DEL command fail and leave stale organization configuration.
Proposed fix
export function redisCliEnv(redis: RedisCliConnection): NodeJS.ProcessEnv {
- return redis.password
- ? { ...process.env, REDISCLI_AUTH: redis.password }
- : { ...process.env };
+ const env = { ...process.env };
+
+ if (redis.password) {
+ env.REDISCLI_AUTH = redis.password;
+ } else {
+ delete env.REDISCLI_AUTH;
+ }
+
+ return env;
}Add a test that sets an ambient REDISCLI_AUTH and verifies that the no-password result omits it.

Description
appsmithctl efl(enable-form-login) updates Mongo correctly, then tries to evict the server's cached organization withredis-cli -h <host> -p 6379. That call keeps only the hostname fromAPPSMITH_REDIS_URL, dropping the username, password, port andrediss://scheme. On any Redis that requires authentication, including the Helm chart's bundled Redis (auth enabled by default), the command printsNOAUTH Authentication required.The cache entry has no TTL, so form login stays disabled until the key is deleted by hand.This change:
utils.toRedisCliConnection/utils.getRedisCliConnection, which split the configured URL into redis-cli flags (-h,-p,--tlsforrediss://,--user) and a separate password.redis-cluster://is treated likeredis://, and a bare host gets the default port.utils.redisCliEnv, which hands the password to redis-cli through theREDISCLI_AUTHenvironment variable, so it never appears on the command line or in the process table.enable_form_logintoredis-cli <flags> DEL organization:<id>with that environment.=only, so a Redis or MongoDB password containing=is no longer truncated. This also fixes the pre-existinggetDburlreader.utils.getRedisUrlreturning the hostname for callers that only need that.Call sites of
redis-cliin the ctl package checked:enable_form_login.ts(this PR). The EE-onlyupdate_branding.tshas the same pattern and is fixed in the EE companion PR.The MongoDB URI is still passed to
mongoshas an argument. That is pre-existing across every ctl command and is tracked separately in https://linear.app/appsmith/issue/APP-15978.Fixes https://linear.app/appsmith/issue/APP-15977
Impact on existing instances
appsmithctl eflworks with the bundled, authenticated Redis.redis://localhost:6379resolves to-h localhost -p 6379with no password.APPSMITH_REDIS_URL: credentials, port and TLS now reach redis-cli. A bare hostname value keeps working.Automation
