Import Error from rq when trying to spin up a worker

[vfxcode]

It seems there is an issue when we try to spin up a worker. The following error occurs:

root@cb1fe159a166:/code# FLASK_APP=`pwd`/cre.py python cre.py --start_worker
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/code/cre.py", line 244, in <module>
    main()
  File "/code/cre.py", line 240, in main
    cre_main.run(args)
  File "/code/application/cmd/cre_main.py", line 631, in run
    from application.worker import start_worker
  File "/code/application/worker.py", line 3, in <module>
    from rq import Worker, Queue, Connection
ImportError: cannot import name 'Connection' from 'rq' (/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/rq/__init__.py)

We have validated that OpenCRE has a fully functioning Redis and OpenCRE is correctly configured to connect to it. We can after all see the jobs get queued in the respective redis keys.

hi @vfxcode
Issue:
Getting ImportError: cannot import name 'Connection' from 'rq' when trying to spin up the worker.

Steps Taken to Fix:

1. Checked the installed rq version.
2. Removed the deprecated Connection import.
3. Used Redis for connection instead.
4. Initialized the worker with the correct Redis connection.
5. Tested and confirmed the worker is running successfully.

Next Steps:

Should we update the dependencies or document this change to prevent future issues? Let me know your thoughts!
