Faking redisearch-py? (mocking)

[kingbuzzman]

We have a pretty complicated setup currently, and to speed up our tests we would like to mock redis + redisearch. Do you know of any preexisting library that does it? We looked into fakeredis, issue is that all of the FT.* commands fail. I've reached out to the maintainer to see if he'd be interested in hosting the project there if there is no current alternative.

@kingbuzzman - what are you trying to mock? You can use FT.EXPLAIN to check that your FT.SEARCH and FT.AGGREGATE commands do not have any syntactic errors.

We're looking to make a fake redis server + redisearch to be able to run all our tests and most importantly run them in parallel and not have them interfere with one another.

Another valid option is to spawn a couple of redis server + redisearch module attach them to individual tests and run them in parallel, then turn them off when done.

You don't have to create a different server for each test, you can also create a different index for each test.
