Description

This PR implements comprehensive Lua scripting and functions support for Valkey GLIDE C#, addressing issue #56.

Implemented Commands

Script Commands

✅ EVAL - via ScriptEvaluateAsync(string script, ...)
✅ EVALSHA - via ScriptEvaluateAsync(byte[] hash, ...)
✅ SCRIPT EXISTS - via ScriptExistsAsync(...)
✅ SCRIPT FLUSH - via ScriptFlushAsync(...)
✅ SCRIPT KILL - via ScriptKillAsync(...)
✅ Script API (load + eval) - via LuaScript.Prepare(), LoadedLuaScript, ScriptLoadAsync(...)

Function Commands (Redis 7.0+)

✅ FCALL - via FCallAsync(...)
✅ FCALL_RO - via FCallReadOnlyAsync(...)
✅ FUNCTION LOAD - via FunctionLoadAsync(...)
✅ FUNCTION DELETE - via FunctionDeleteAsync(...)
✅ FUNCTION FLUSH - via FunctionFlushAsync(...)
✅ FUNCTION KILL - via FunctionKillAsync(...)

Key Features

StackExchange.Redis Compatibility

Full API compatibility with StackExchange.Redis scripting APIs
LuaScript.Prepare() with named parameter support (@parameter syntax)
LoadedLuaScript for pre-loaded scripts
IDatabase.ScriptEvaluateAsync() and IServer.ScriptLoadAsync() methods

Native GLIDE API

Script class with automatic EVALSHA optimization and NOSCRIPT fallback
FFI integration for script storage in Rust core
IDisposable pattern for proper resource management

Cluster Support

Flexible routing options (AllPrimaries, AllNodes, RandomRoute, SlotKeyRoute)
ClusterValue<T> for multi-node results

sources/Valkey.Glide/Script.cs

+            ThrowIfDisposed();
+            return _hash;


Should this be within lock here in Hash and also in Code, similar to Dispose, to ensure no race conditions?

jeremyprime · 2025-10-31T17:40:08Z

sources/Valkey.Glide/BaseClient.ScriptingCommands.cs

+            {
+                Marshal.FreeHGlobal(hashPtr);
+            }
+            // TODO: Free keys and args memory


Since this method is called for every script eval seems like this should be a priority to free keys and args to avoid memory leaks.

jeremyprime · 2025-10-31T17:55:02Z

sources/Valkey.Glide/BaseClient.ScriptingCommands.cs

+    public async Task<ValkeyResult> ScriptEvaluateAsync(string script, ValkeyKey[]? keys = null, ValkeyValue[]? values = null,
+        CommandFlags flags = CommandFlags.None)
+    {
+        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(script))


We are checking for null script here in ScriptEvaluateAsync, but we are not doing that in InvokeScriptAsync in this class or in GlideClusterClient.ScriptingCommands (could apply to some other parameters as well, it is inconsistent whether we check for null/empty or not).

jeremyprime · 2025-10-31T18:40:35Z

tests/Valkey.Glide.IntegrationTests/ClusterClientTests.cs

    [MemberData(nameof(Config.TestClusterClients), MemberType = typeof(TestConfiguration))]
    public async Task TestKeyMoveAsync(GlideClusterClient client)
    {
+        // TODO: Temporarily skipped - will be fixed in separate multi-database PR


Should we SkipWhen(true, "...') here and below for now, seems the tests are now running on servers where they should not and causing CI to fail.
