Configuring express gateway to work with redis

I'm setting up an instance of the express gateway for routing requests to microservices. It works as expected, but I get the following errors when I try to include redis in my system config

0|apigateway-service  | 2020-01-09T18:50:10.118Z [EG:policy] error: Failed to initialize custom express-session store, please ensure you have connect-redis npm package installed

I have installed the necessary packages

npm install redis connect-redis express-session

and have updated the system.config.yml file like so,

# Core
db:
  redis:
    host: ${REDIS_HOST}
    port: ${REDIS_PORT}
    db: ${REDIS_DB}
    namespace: EG
plugins:
  # express-gateway-plugin-example:
  #   param1: 'param from system.config'
  health-check:
    package: './health-check/manifest.js'
  body-parser:
    package: './body-parser/manifest.js'
crypto:
  cipherKey: sensitiveKey
  algorithm: aes256
  saltRounds: 10
# OAuth2 Settings
session:
  storeProvider: connect-redis
  storeOptions:
    host: ${REDIS_HOST}
    port: ${REDIS_PORT}
    db: ${REDIS_DB}
  secret: keyboard cat # replace with secure key that will be used to sign session cookie
  resave: false
  saveUninitialized: false
accessTokens:
  timeToExpiry: 7200000
refreshTokens:
  timeToExpiry: 7200000
authorizationCodes:
  timeToExpiry: 300000

My gateway.config.yml file looks like this

            stripPath: true

    apiEndpoints:

      - proxy:

            changeOrigin: true

            stripPath: true

Am I missing anything?
