Project description
testing.redis automatically setups a redis instance in a temporary directory, and destroys it after testing
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()
