[Bug]: Inability to use redis_return as the master_job_cache #68663
Description
What happened?
I am trying to configure salt 3006.18 to use Redis as the master_job_cache on our MoM, my config is.
master_job_cache: redis_return
redis.job_cache_redis:
host: '127.0.0.1'
port: 6380
db: '0'
returner.redis_return.master_job_cache_profile: job_cache_redis
However when I start the MoM, I get the following error.
