facing issue with deadpool redis

[rapidshaurya]

When using futures::executor::block_on() function with pool.get(), the code is still waiting for a long time, and nothing is happening.

Deadpool itself is executor agnostic (except for timeouts). You're using deadpool-redis which does call into the redis library when creating new connections. The redis crate only supports tokio or async-std.

I don't think it is possilble to use futures::executor with the redis crate. And therefore you can't use futures::executor with deadpool-redis either.

This should work (using tokio):

use tokio::runtime::Handle;

let handle = Handle::current();
let conn = handle.block_on(pool.get());

Though I really wonder why you want to use deadpool in sync code for fetching an async redis connection object. The only way to use the obtained connection object is via another block_on call. You'd be better of putting all the code inside an async function.
