Error with node-redis: Deprecated: The SET command contains a argument of type Object

I'm using the connect-redis-crypto module (https://github.com/jas-/connect-redis-crypto ) which is built for encrypting redis session data on top of connect-redis(https://github.com/tj/connect-redis). My redis version is 3.2.8.

I am running into error node-redis: Deprecated: The SET command contains a argument of type Object. Based on the larger error message, it seems to come from trying to parse the string [object Object] when it is not a JSON string. I put nested objects that hold user information on req.session which directly gets stored (and ideally encrypted) in redis.

From some sources I learned nested objects in Redis are not allowed which might cause this error, but I believe this library stores data as JSON to allow for nested objects. connect-redis works fine for me, but when this connect-redis-crypto library tries to JSON parse encrypted data it throws me this particular error.

Would really appreciate your help!

node_redis: Deprecated: The SET command contains a argument of type Object.
This is converted to "[object Object]" by using .toString() now and will return an error from v.3.0 on.
Please handle this in your code to make sure everything works as you intended it to.
