RedisSearch SORTBY does not work

[bertrand-riviere]

It might actually not be a "bug" but when I use the SORTBY search option it seems to be ignored (which makes sense considering it is commented out in /packages/search/lib/commands/SEARCH.ts).
I can see that a MSORTBY option is supported but when I try to use it I get an error from Redis (ReplyError: Unknown argument MSORTBY at position 1 for ...)
Is there a way to workaround this issue?

Environment:

• Node.js Version: 14.17.0
• Redis Server Version: 6.2.3
• Node Redis Version: 4.0.0
• Platform: Windows 10

You can use client.sendCommand with SEARCH.transformArguments and SERACH.transformReply as a workaround for now:

import { transformArguments, transformReply } from '@node-redis/search/dist/commands/SEARCH';

const searchArgs = transformArguments(...);
searchArgs.push('SORTBY', '...');
const reply = transformReply(await client.sendCommand(searchArgs));

the SORTBY option should be supported, It'll be released with @node-redis/search@1.0.1.

Wahoo, that's exactly what I've done and I was about to comment my own issue in case it could be useful to someone else! ;)
(I still don't get the point of MSORTBY since it is not supported by Redis as far I know but maybe I've missed something..)

Many thanks anyway!

Can you explain this example for typescript? I am getting an error on the import statement
Cannot find module '@node-redis/client/dist/lib/commands/SEARCH' or its corresponding type declarations. ts(2307)

@amansubhan I've updated my command

I'm not using TS but here is the import I use (and that works):
import redisSearch from '@node-redis/search';
then redisSearch.search.transformArguments for instance..

@bertrand-riviere @leibale Thanks to both of you, it's working now as you pointed out the import
