Call to a member function publish() on null when trying to pubish to redis on laravel

I am trying to publish stuff to redis but I get this error:

Call to a member function publish() on null.

Not sure whats going on. This is my code. Works well on the local environment but on the server the above error message shows. I have the following code in a controller. The website is hosted on windows azure appservice. I have also installed the predis/predis dependency.

$redis = Redis::connection(6380)->publish('test-channel', json_encode(['foo' => 'bar']));

Am I not connecting to redis or something?

I go it working. The redis server on azure by default enforces SSL connections on port 6380. I disabled this so it allows non-SSL connections on port 6379. Now the connection is:

$redis = Redis::publish('test-channel', json_encode(['foo' => 'bar']));

You should pass the connection name to the connection() method 

$redis = Redis::connection('my_connection')->publish('test-channel', json_encode(['foo' => 'bar']));

or just skip it, if you intend to use the default connection.

$redis = Redis::publish('test-channel', json_encode(['foo' => 'bar']));

Redis connections should be defined in your config/database.php file.
