redistest

Go library to spawn single-use Redis servers for unit testing

Spawns a Redis server. Ideal for unit tests where you want a clean instance each time. Then clean up afterwards.

Features:

• Starts a clean isolated Redis database
• Tested on Fedora, Ubuntu and Alpine
• Optimized for in-memory execution, to speed up unit tests
• Less than 0.1 second startup / initialization time

Usage

In your unit test:

red, err := redistest.Start()
defer red.Stop()

// Do something with red.Pool (which is a *redis.Pool)
