redis-mock

The goal of the redis-mock project is to create a feature-complete mock of node_redis, which may be used interchangeably when writing unit tests for code that depends on redis.

All operations are performed in-memory, so no Redis installation is required.

100% Redis-compatible (see Cross Verification)

Installation

$ npm install redis-mock --save-dev

Usage

node.js/io.js

The below code demonstrates a example of using the redis-mock client in node.js/io.js

var redis = require("redis-mock"),
    client = redis.createClient();

Cross verification

If you want to add new tests to the test base it is important that they work too on node_redis (we are creating a mock...). You can therefore run the tests using redis instead of redis-mock. To do so:

$ npm test:valid

You will need to have a running instance of redis on you machine and our tests use flushdb a lot so make sure you don't have anything important on it.

Roadmap

redis-mock is work in progress, feel free to report an issue

Example usage

Jest

In order to make sure that your tests use the redis-mock instead of the actual redis implementation, update your jest.config.js, by adding setupFileAfterEnv, as follows:

module.exports = {
    // other properties...
    setupFilesAfterEnv: ['./jest.setup.redis-mock.js'],
};

From this point on, jest will always trigger the content of jest.setup.redis-mock.js before the execution of all tests.

Now, let's create the file jest.setup.redis-mock.js in the same directory as jest.config.js and paste the following content:

jest.mock('redis', () => jest.requireActual('redis-mock'));

This will make sure that the actual redis is never loaded and whenever any file tries to import/require redis, redis-mock will be returned instead.
