TTL get error code

[hilaily]

if I use client.TTL("key_name").Result() and get an error code -1 or -2. I think it should be it. but I get -1000000000. It is perplexing。

What does redis-cli return?

[hilaily]

redis-cli returns -1

[vmihailenco]

Okay, please provide code that I can run and that reproduces the problem.

This should be fixed in master branch.

I think the solution in #1039 is misleading as -1 and -2 are not duration actually. They are just an indicator or error code.

Integer reply: TTL in seconds, or a negative value in order to signal an error (see the description above).

So I think it may be better to just return error for -1 and -2 which indicates no expire and key not exists respectively.

to add to what Marilla said, the fix that was implemented for this creates a misleading API that completely ignores the precession that was set with DurationCmd.
