pytest-redislite

pytest-redislite -- Is a simple pytest plugin to help you test your projects using Redis.

Features

• Automatically starts/ends Redis for your tests using Redislite
• Flash Redis Database between tests automatically

Requirements

• python >= 3.7

Installation

pytest-redislite should be installed using pip: ::

pip install pytest-redislite

Usage

When installed the plugin provides the fixture: redis_url

    def test_code_with_redis(redis_url):
        from redis import Redis

        redis_client = Redis.from_url(redis_url)
        redis_client.set('key', 'value')
        assert redis_client.get('key', 'value')

When you are using the fixture Redis server will be started and finished after your tests.

Configuration

The plugins support pytest command line options:

• --redis-path: Specify a path to Redis Database file
• --redis-socket-path: Specify a path to Redis Socket

as well as pytest ini options:

• redis_path: Specify a path to Redis Database file
• redis_socket_path: Specify a path to Redis Socket

Auto flush data between tests

By default the plugin erases all data in Redis between tests. If you would like to change the behaviour define the fixture:

    @pytest.fixture
    def redis_autoflash():
        return False

You may define it for a module or whole tests session.
