[Bug]: Redis: SORTED SET: waiting is not created #3849

Version

v7.42.1

Platform

NodeJS

What happened?

We're on "@taskforcesh/bullmq-pro": "^7.42.1"

When I add jobs as delayed or jobs are completed, their count can be retrieved by the Bullmq-pro SDK/API, and Redis has a SORTED SET: completed and SORTED SET: delayed.

Problem:
When I create jobs that default to "waiting/wait" there is no SORTED SET: waiting in Redis. Calling the BullMQ-pro SDK/API returns zero jobtypes in "waiting".
But if I get the details for a job that I have just queued, the state is shown as "waiting"

Should there be a SORTED SET: waiting record for the Queue in Redis?
Otherwise the only other place I can see that the "waiting" jobs can be found would be from the STREAM: bull:QUEUE_NAME:events object in Redis, but that would be inefficient.

How to reproduce.

1. Create some jobs on a queue, with no Worker running
2. Call queue.getWaiting() or queue.getJobCountByTypes(['waiting']) or queue.getJobCounts()`

All these bullmq SDK/API commands/functions return zero for "waiting"

Relevant log output

Created some jobs:

{
  "testadd": [
    "251",
    "252",
    "253",
    "254",
    "255",
    "256",
    "257",
    "258",
    "259",
    "260"
  ]
}


queue.getJobCounts():

{
  "jobscount": {
    "active": 0,
    "completed": 164,
    "delayed": 0,
    "failed": 0,
    "paused": 0,
    "prioritized": 0,
    "waiting": 0,
    "waiting-children": 0
  }
}


queue.getJob("260"):

{
  "jobs": [
    {
      "id": "260",
      "name": "test-1720-9",
      "state": "waiting",
      "createdAt": "2026-03-04T17:20:41.431+10:00",
      "progress": 0,
      "delay": 0,
      "attemptsStarted": 0,
      "stalledCounter": 0,
      "attemptsMade": 0
    }
  ]
}
