redis-mock-py

A Python mock library for the redis-py client.

Note: This module is not thread safe

Currently only a few Redis sorted set commands are supported (ZADD, ZRANGE, ZRANGEBYSCORE, ZREVRANGE, ZREVRANGEBYSCORE)

I will be adding more commands in the future.

If you want more commands added, send me a message via github (username: dhui).

Usage:

To start using the Redis mock, you'll need to add the following imports:

import mock

import redis_mock

Then in your setUp() function in your unit test class, call:

redis_mock.flush_db()

In any of your test functions that use the redis-py library, add the decorator:

@mock.patch.object(redis.Redis, 'execute_command')

That same test function must take the argument:

mock_execute_command

Inside that same test function, set mock_execute_command's side effect:

mock_execute_command.side_effect = redis_mock.execute_command

Example:

class TestSuite(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):

        redis_mock.flush_db()

    @mock.patch.object(redis.Redis, 'execute_command')

    def simple_test(self, mock_execute_command):

        mock_execute_command.side_effect = redis_mock.execute_command
