How to test a JSONModel ?

I have a similar problem as this at : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76578825/how-to-test-a-jsonmodel-in-a-unittest

How does one test a simple JsonModel without connection to a redis instance?

Hi @efratmiy - you can initialize and access a JsonModel without a Redis instance, if however you wanted to stub out the Redis bits you would need to explicitly add a Redis Mock to the Meta class within your model:

from redis_om import JsonModel

redis = # create your mock Redis connection bit here

class Customer(HashModel):
    first_name: str
    last_name: str
    age: int

    class Meta:
        database = redis

If it's me, IDK that that's the level I would be mocking at (I would go a level up and mock the service layer that's meant to be doing the simple CRUD operations to Redis. But that route is open to you
