#33826: Redis client raises exceptions in the RedisCache backend delete_many and
set_many methods when used with empty keys or data

-----------------------------------------------+--------------------------
I am not sure the behavior described below is the intended (in the sense
that the code utilizing the cache backend should make sure to place those
checks introduced before calling delete_many or set_many, however looking
at the Database backend implementation similar checks do exist when
calling the delete_many method and since I jumped into this bug using the
redis backend a fix is needed I think to address this issue.
**Case**
If the 2 methods call the underlying redis client DEL and MSET commands
with
empty parameters then an exception will be thrown by the redis client:
redis.exceptions.ResponseError: wrong number of arguments for 'del'
command
and
redis.exceptions.ResponseError: Command # 1 (MSET) of pipeline caused
error: wrong number of arguments for 'mset' command
respectively.
**Steps to reproduce**
Using
{{{
USE_TZ = False
DATABASES = {"default": {"ENGINE": "django.db.backends.sqlite3", "NAME":
"mydatabase"}}
CACHES = {
"default": {
"BACKEND": "django.core.cache.backends.redis.RedisCache",
"LOCATION": "redis://localhost:6379",
}
}
}}}
as a settings file run a shell
{{{
./manage.py shell --settings myapp.settings
from django.core.cache import cache
cache.delete_many([])
}}}
raises exception redis.exceptions.ResponseError: wrong number of arguments
for 'del' command
{{{
cache.set_many({})
}}}
raises exception redis.exceptions.ResponseError: Command # 1 (MSET) of
pipeline caused error: wrong number of arguments for 'mset' command
