Mock redis

[u2]

Can you help me? I wanted to find a gem like https://github.com/guilleiguaran/fakeredis or https://github.com/brigade/mock_redis, but they are designed for redis-rb, I could not find any available gem. So if I want to mock a redis for ohm, how to do?

Thanks a lot.

Hello @u2, I'd love to help you! I usually run all the tests against a real Redis instance running locally. Is there a reason why that approach won't work for you?

I have thought it over, real Redis instance is not a problem.I just had be influenced by my habit.Thank you.

No problem :-) I'll close this issue, but if at any point you need my help just let me know.

@soveran My test environments doesn't have redis installed, so in that case how can I mock Ohm.

Hello @allanxavierm, can you tell me more about your test environment? Is there a reason why you can't install Redis in there?

Hi @soveran, I have similar problem - can't use real redis instance on my ci server because there are very important data in redis. So if I'll corrupt them, I'll have big problems with that data. Any advices how can I mock redis for Ohm?

[soveran]

Where do you run your CI environment? I ask because usually you can start a redis-server instance (without your production data) and run the tests against it. Maybe we can find a solution for your CI server.

It's my production server. Running second redis instance makes problem to start it.

Same issue here, hoping there's a way to pass a different driver to the connection like this:

Redis.new(db: 0, timeout: 2.0, driver: Redis::Connection::Memory)
