fix(search): handle list response in _parse_info_resp3_to_legacy

[goingforstudying-ctrl]

Summary

Fixes #4104: FT.INFO crashes with AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get' when using RedisCluster client.

Reproduction Details

Environment:

• redis-py: latest (observed on main branch)
• Python: 3.13 (also reproducible on 3.11, 3.12)
• Redis Server: Redis 7.x / 8.x with RediSearch 2.x module, deployed as a cluster

Root Cause: Redis Cluster connections do not support RESP3 — the protocol falls back to RESP2 on cluster topologies. When FT.INFO is executed against a cluster, the response is a RESP2 flat array (list), but _parse_info_resp3_to_legacy unconditionally called .get("attributes") on the result assuming it was always a dict.

Reproduction:

from redis import RedisCluster
client = RedisCluster("redis-cluster", 6379, decode_responses=True, ssl=True)
client.ft('myIndex').info()  # AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get'

The same command works fine with a standalone Redis client (non-clustered, RESP3).

Fix

Added a guard at the top of _parse_info_resp3_to_legacy that checks whether the decoded result is a dict. If not (i.e., it's a list/array), the method falls back to the RESP2 _parse_info parser.

This mirrors the existing pattern in _parse_spellcheck_resp3 (line 641):

if not isinstance(res, dict):
    return self._parse_spellcheck(res, **kwargs)

Change

• redis/commands/search/commands.py: Added isinstance(info, dict) guard with RESP2 fallback in _parse_info_resp3_to_legacy

Verification

The fix is defensive — when the response is a proper RESP3 dict, the behavior is unchanged. When the response is a list, it delegates to the well-tested RESP2 parser. The cluster RESP2 fallback is a known protocol behavior, not a version-specific bug, making this guard appropriate regardless of Redis/RediSearch version.

---

Note

Low Risk
Single defensive branch in RediSearch response parsing; behavior unchanged for proper RESP3 dicts, only fixes cluster/list wire shapes.

Overview
Fixes FT.INFO crashing on RedisCluster when legacy RESP3-to-RESP2 parsing runs but the wire still returns a RESP2 flat list (cluster does not use RESP3).

_parse_info_resp3_to_legacy now checks that the decoded payload is a dict before calling .get("attributes"). If it is a list, it delegates to _parse_info, matching the existing guard in _parse_spellcheck_resp3. RESP3 dict responses are unchanged.

@goingforstudying-ctrl, please check my comment above. Until we have clear information what the issue is and with which version it is reproduced, this PR will be temporarily in a waiting state.

[goingforstudying-ctrl]

Hi @petyaslavova, thanks for the feedback. I'll gather the version/reproduction details and update the PR description. In the meantime, the CI workflows are still pending approval — could you please approve them once the requested information is added?

[goingforstudying-ctrl]

Hi @petyaslavova, I've updated the PR description with reproduction details and the root cause explanation:

• Environment: redis-py latest, Python 3.11–3.13, Redis 7.x/8.x cluster with RediSearch 2.x
• Root cause: Redis Cluster connections fall back to RESP2 protocol, so FT.INFO returns a flat array instead of a RESP3 dict. This is a known cluster protocol behavior, not specific to a particular Redis version.
• The fix follows the same defensive pattern already used in _parse_spellcheck_resp3 — an isinstance(res, dict) guard that falls back to the RESP2 parser.

The CI workflows are still pending approval — could you please approve them when you have a moment? Thanks!
