Implementing Jedis into Ktor build.gradle directly

Question

I am tryng to use Jedis directly in my Ktor application. But I don't know how to implement it in build.gradle file. I tried this:

implementation 'redis.clients:jedis:3.4.0-SNAPSHOT'

But it doesn't work.

val jedis = Jedis("localhost") -> "unresoled reference Jedis" error.

Any help will be appreciated.

This works for me:

• Put implementation 'redis.clients:jedis:3.4.0' nested under dependencies in the build.gradle file
• Have your IDE load the gradle changes (Shift-Command-I for IntelliJ Mac)
• Use import redis.clients.jedis.Jedis at the top of your code file
• Then you can use the Jedis class just like in your question.

I tried using what you did, with 'SNAPSHOT' at the end, and it didn't work.
