Project description

drone.io CI build status Latest PyPI version Number of PyPI downloads

Install

Use easy_install (or pip):

$ easy_install testing.redis

And testing.redis requires Redis server.

Usage

Create Redis instance using testing.redis.RedisServer:

import redis
import testing.redis

# Launch new Redis server
with testing.redis.RedisServer as redis_server:
    r = redis.Redis(**redis_server.dsn())
    #
    # do any tests using Redis...
    #

# Redis server is terminated here

testing.redis automatically searchs for redis-server from $PATH. If you install redis to other directory, set redis_server keyword:

redis = testing.redis.RedisServer(redis_server='/path/to/your/redis-server')

testing.redis.RedisServer executes redis-server on instantiation. On deleting RedisServer object, it terminates Redis instance and removes temporary directory.

If you want a database including any fixtures for your apps, use copy_data_from keyword:

# uses a copy of specified data directory of Redis.
redis = testing.redis.RedisServer(copy_data_from='/path/to/your/database')

You can specify parameters for Redis with redis_conf keyword:

# Enable appendonly mode
redis = testing.redis.RedisServer(redis_conf={'appendonly': 'yes'})

For example, you can setup new Redis server for each testcases on setUp() method:

import unittest
import testing.redis

class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.redis = testing.redis.RedisServer()

    def tearDown(self):
        self.redis.stop()
