Redis client is hanging deployment?

[thecodekitchen]

I'm attempting a very basic Redis integration in the file getBeastCommand.js. I replaced the original helloCommand.js file with it. The original hello deployment worked great, but when I changed the file to this and renamed it, the deployment hung on the step where it creates the 'Custom:CreateCommandsInvoker' resource, pictured here:

When I abort, it leaves me with an incomplete set of resources that interfere with further deployments, so I have to keep deleting them manually in all the different AWS services in order to try again, but it keeps failing at the same step. What am I doing wrong here?

const {SlashCommand, CommandOptionType} = require('slash-create');
const {createClient} = require('redis')

const host = 'MY_CLOUD_HOST'
const port = PORT_NUMBER
const username = 'MY_USERNAME'
const password = 'MY_DB_PASSWORD'

const client = createClient({
    url: `redis://${username}:${password}@${host}:${port}`
})

module.exports = class GetBeastCommand extends SlashCommand {
    constructor(creator) {
        super(creator, {
            name: 'get_beast',
            description: 'Grab a beast!',
            guildIDs: ['1054498243100295170'],
            options: [
                {
                    name: 'name',
                    description: 'The name of the beast you want to get.',
                    type: CommandOptionType.STRING
                }
            ]
        });
        this.filePath = __filename;
    }

    async run(ctx) {
        
        let name = ctx.options.name;
        const dbReply = await client.sendCommand('JSON.GET', 'beasts', '$.beasts')
        const beastList = JSON.parse(dbReply.value()?.valueOf())[0]
        const beast = beastList.map((beast)=>{ 
            if(beast['Name']==name){
                console.log('Found a match!')
                return beast
            }
        })[0]
        if(beast){
            ctx.send(`Here is the data for ${name}`, {
                embeds: [
                    {
                        title: beast['Name'],
                        fields: [
                            {name: 'Description', value: beast['Description']},
                            {name: 'Rarity', value: beast['Rarity']},
                            {name: 'Biome', value: beast['Biome']},
                            {name: 'HP', value: beast['HP'].toString()},
                            {name: 'DEF', value: beast['DEF'].toString()},
                            {name: 'SPD', value: beast['SPD'].toString()},
                            {name: 'Ability', value: beast['Ability']['Name']},
                            {name: 'Ability Power', value: beast['Ability']['Power'].toString()}
                        ],
                        image: {
                            url: beast['Image'],
                            height: 200,
                            width: 200
                        }
                    }
                ]
            })
        } else return "Sorry, I couldn't find that beast."
    }
};

Forgot to mention, I ran 'npm install redis' from ./commands_layer/nodejs in order to install the Redis dependency.

Hi,
to me, this sounds like an issue with your custom command and not with serverless-discord-bot. Therefore, I will convert this into an discussion.

A general debugging tip: Try to start with the hello command and only make small increments that you deploy and test. This makes it easier to find issues.

The CreateCommandsInvoker can indeed hang if errors occur in CreateCommandsFunction. If you have any ideas for a better solution, feel free to suggest them!
