Passing path in options throws Error: connect ENOENT

[alko89]

Trying to connect to a redis instance using path param in options fails with ENOENT error, while initializing ioredis with path works.

import Redis from 'ioredis';

new Redis('redis://127.0.0.1:6379') // Works

new Redis({ path: 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379' })  // Error: connect ENOENT

Can I work on this?

[alko89]

@deepam-kapur you can as far as I'm concerned. But I'm not really a maintainer.

path needs to be passed with a unix socket so should look like a file path.

[alko89]

@luin providing a socket instead of url would only work for localhost connections, which I only used here as an example.

I have this problem, too. How are we supposed to initialize with a url?
