The goal of the redis-mock project is to create a feature-complete mock of https://github.com/mranney/node_redis, so that it may be used interchangeably when writing unit tests for code that depends on Redis.
All operations are performed in-memory, why no Redis installation is required.
Install with:
npm install redis-mock
var redis = require("redis-mock"),
client = redis.createClient();If you want to test your app under failing conditions, you can instead instantiate RedisErrorMock
var RedisErrorMock = require("redis-mock").RedisErrorMock;
var redis = new RedisErrorMock();
var client = redis.createClient(); // Emits "error"
client.on("error", function(err) {
// Fail gracefully
});redis-mock is a WIP, why most commands are not yet available. Currently implemented are the following:
- createClient
- end
- ready
- connect
- end
- quit
- subscribe
- unsubscribe
- message
- publish
- subscribe
- unsubscribe
- del
- keys
- exists
- expire
- ttl
- get
- set
- mget
- setnx
- hset
- hsetnx
- hget
- hexists
- hdel
- hlen
- hgetall
- hmset
- hmget
- hkeys
- hincrby
- llen
- lpush
- rpush
- lpushx
- rpushx
- lpop
- rpop
- blpop
- brpop
- lindex
- lset
- flushdb
- flushall
If you want to add new tests to the test base it is important that they work too on node_redis (we are creating a mock...).
You can therefore run the tests using redis instead of redis-mock. To do so:
make check-tests
You will need to have a running instance of redis on you machine and our tests use `flushdb a lot so make sure you don't have anything important on it.
