Is Microsoft Garnet Compatible with IDistributedCache in ASP.NET Core8?

[wessisaac]

I tried using Microsoft Garnet with IDistributedCache in .NET Core 8, but a simple StringSet operation failed.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a workaround?

I'm assuming you're using Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.StackExchangeRedis; please let me know which library version you're using. In particular, note that the 9.x builds include targets for net8.0, and includes a change to remove Lua usage, which specifically aims at working with Garnet. So: if you're not already: try using the 9.x library; does this still fail? If so: exactly what happens?

Yes, I'm currently using Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.StackExchangeRedis version 8.x. I'll upgrade to the 9.x version and let you know how it goes. Thanks!

I’ve tested the Microsoft Garnet package targeting .NET 9.0, and it’s working well with IDistributedCache. Thanks, @mgravell!
