FakeRedis

This a fake implementation of redis-rb for machines without Redis or test environments

Installation

Install the gem:

gem install fakeredis

Add it to your Gemfile:

gem "fakeredis"

FakeRedis currently supports redis-rb v3 or later, if you are using redis-rb v2.2 install the version 0.3.x:

gem install fakeredis -v "~> 0.3.0"

or use the branch 0-3-x on your Gemfile:

gem "fakeredis", :git => "git://github.com/guilleiguaran/fakeredis.git", :branch => "0-3-x"

You can use FakeRedis without any changes:

    require "fakeredis"

    redis = Redis.new

    >> redis.set "foo", "bar"
    => "OK"

    >> redis.get "foo"
    => "bar"

Read redis-rb documentation and Redis homepage for more info about commands

Require this either in your Gemfile or in RSpec's support scripts. So either:

# Gemfile
group :test do
  gem "rspec"
  gem "fakeredis", :require => "fakeredis/rspec"
end

Or:

# spec/support/fakeredis.rb
require 'fakeredis/rspec'

Require this either in your Gemfile or in Minitest's support scripts. So either:

# Gemfile
group :test do
  gem "minitest"
  gem "fakeredis", :require => "fakeredis/minitest"
end

Or:

# test/test_helper.rb (or test/minitest_config.rb)
require 'fakeredis/minitest'

Thanks to all contributors, specially to Caius Durling the most active one.

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
Fork the project
Start a feature/bugfix branch
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
