No value was obtained for history.messages in RedisChatMessageHistory

[1098842836]

Checked other resources

• I added a very descriptive title to this issue.
• I searched the LangChain documentation with the integrated search.
• I used the GitHub search to find a similar question and didn't find it.
• I am sure that this is a bug in LangChain rather than my code.
• The bug is not resolved by updating to the latest stable version of LangChain (or the specific integration package).

Example Code

`from langchain_redis import RedisChatMessageHistory
from langchain_core.messages import AIMessage, HumanMessage

history = RedisChatMessageHistory(session_id="test002",
redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
key_prefix="chat_test:",
)

Add messages to the history

history.add_user_message("Hello, AI assistant!")
history.add_ai_message("Hello! How can I assist you today?")

Retrieve messages

print("Chat History:")
for message in history.messages:
print(f"{type(message).name}: {message.content}")

session_id="RAG_admin_ceshi-999" also does not work, you must remove the superfluous symbol RAGadminceshi999

Would appreciate a bug fix if you're able to do it!

We also recommend that users transition to langgraph for memory use cases. We have a much more limited offering there of integrations, but the implementations generalize to things beyond just a message history.

It's also much simpler to set up

@1098842836 what is the version of langchain_redis you are using. Since it works fine for me on the latest version.

I'd be more than happy to fix this bug if the author would let me
