Python library Python fake REDIS

fakeredis Description

fakeredis is a pure Python implementation of the redis-py Python client that simulates talking to a Redis server. This was created for a single purpose: to write unittests. Setting up redis is not hard, but many times you want to write unittests that do not talk to an external server (such as redis). This module now allows tests to simply use this module as a reasonable substitute for redis.How to UseThe intent is for fakeredis to act as though you're talking to a real redis server. It does this by storing state in the fakeredis module. For example:>>> import fakeredis>>> r = fakeredis.FakeRedis()>>> r.set('foo', 'bar')True>>> r.get('foo')'bar'>>> r.lpush('bar', 1)1>>> r.lpush('bar', 2)2>>> r.lrange('bar', 0, -1)By storing state in the fakeredis module, instances can share data:>>> import fakeredis>>> r1 = fakeredis.FakeRedis()>>> r1.set('foo', 'bar')True>>> r2 = fakeredis.FakeRedis()>>> r2.get('foo')'bar'>>> r2.set('bar', 'baz')True>>> r1.get('bar')'baz'>>> r2.get('bar')'baz'Unimplemented CommandsAll of the redis commands are implemented in fakeredis with these exceptions:generic object evalconnection echo select quit ping authpubsub punsubscribe subscribe psubscribe publish unsubscribetransactions exec multi discardserver debug object slowlog sync shutdown lastsave debug segfault monitor config resetstat config get save bgsave bgrewriteaof slaveof info config set dbsizeAdding New CommandsAdding support for more redis commands is easy:- Add unittests for the new command.- Implement new command.To ensure parity with the real redis, there are a set of integration tests that mirror the unittests. For every unittest that is written, the same test is run against a real redis instance using a real redis-py client instance. In order to run these tests you must have a redis server running on localhost, port 6379 (the default settings). The integration tests use db=10 in order to minimize collisions with an existing redis instance.Running the TestsTo run all the tests, install the requirements file:pip install -r requirements.txtIf you just want to run the unittests:nosetests test_fakeredis.py:TestFakeRedisBecause this module is attempting to provide the same interface as the python bindings to redis, a reasonable way to test this to to take each unittest and run it against a real redis server. fakeredis and the real redis server should give the same result. This ensures parity between the two. You can run these "integration" tests like this:nosetests test_fakeredis.py:TestRealRedisIn terms of implementation, TestRealRedis is a subclass of TestFakeRedis that overrides a factory method to create an instance of redis.Redis (an actual python client for redis) instead of fakeredis.FakeRedis.To run both the unittests and the "integration" tests, run:nosetestsIf redis is not running and you try to run tests against a real redis server, these tests will have a result of 'S' for skipped.Product's homepage
