redistest
Go library to spawn single-use Redis servers for unit testing
Spawns a Redis server. Ideal for unit tests where you want a clean instance each time. Then clean up afterwards.
Features:
- Starts a clean isolated Redis database
- Tested on Fedora, Ubuntu and Alpine
- Optimized for in-memory execution, to speed up unit tests
- Less than 0.1 second startup / initialization time
Usage
In your unit test:
red, err := redistest.Start()
defer red.Stop()
// Do something with red.Pool (which is a *redis.Pool)

Overview ¶
Spawns a Redis server. Ideal for unit tests where you want a clean instance each time. Then clean up afterwards.
Requires Redis to be installed on your system (but it doesn't have to be running).

Types ¶
type Redis ¶
type Redis struct {
// A redis pool pre-configured to talk to the redis server
Pool *redis.Pool
// Network protocol to pass to redis.Dial()
Network string
// Address to pass to redis.Dial()
Address string
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
func Start ¶
Start a new Redis database, on temporary storage.
This database has persistance disabled for performance, so it might run faster than your production database. This makes it less reliable in case of system crashes, but we don't care about that anyway during unit testing.
Use the Pool field to access the database connection
