Kue crashes parse server

Question

I'm trying to use kue for scheduled jobs on my Parse Server (hosted on heroku). For now I've modified my index.js file like so as stated in the several tutorials I found about Kue :

var express = require('express')
  , kue = require('due')
  , redis = require('redis');

var ParseServer = require('parse-server').ParseServer;

var databaseUri = process.env.DATABASE_URI || process.env.MONGOLAB_URI;

if (!databaseUri) {
  console.log('DATABASE_URI not specified, falling back to localhost.');
}

var api = new ParseServer({
  databaseURI: databaseUri || 'mongodb://localhost:27017/dev',
  cloud: process.env.CLOUD_CODE_MAIN || __dirname + '/cloud/main.js',
  appId: process.env.APP_ID || 'myAppId',
  masterKey: process.env.MASTER_KEY || '',
  serverURL: process.env.SERVER_URL
});
// Client-keys like the javascript key or the .NET key are not necessary with parse-server
// If you wish you require them, you can set them as options in the initialization above:
// javascriptKey, restAPIKey, dotNetKey, clientKey

// connect to REDIS
var client = redis.createClient(process.env.REDIS_URL);

var app = express();

// Serve the Parse API on the /parse URL prefix
var mountPath = process.env.PARSE_MOUNT || '/parse';
app.use(mountPath, api)
.use(kue.app); // wire up Kue (see /active for queue interface)


// Parse Server plays nicely with the rest of your web routes
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.status(200).send('I dream of being a web site.');
});

var port = process.env.PORT || 1337;
app.listen(port, function() {
    console.log('parse-server-example running on port ' + port + '.');
});

I've found out that the app crashes at the line : .use(kue.app). Here is the error I get :

Starting process with command `node index.js`
parse-server-example running on port 22995.
/app/node_modules/parse-server/lib/index.js:298
        throw err;
        ^

Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379
    at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:890:11)
    at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:913:20)
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1057:14)
Process exited with status 7
State changed from starting to crashed

I don't know why this is happening.

Hello! You recently had commented on an issue on the Parse Server Platform about how you use kue for scheduled push notifications. I have been trying to implement them with no success. Would you mind checking out my [question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37103639/how-to-schedule-a-job-with-kue-on-parse-server)? Thank you!!! — Baylor Mitchell, May 09 '16 at 21:03

The line : .use(ku.app) can be removed. And all that is needed is to add :

var jobs = kue.createQueue({ redis: process.env.REDIS_URL })

to access the current queue.

Hope it'll helps somebody.
