Integration Testing with Redis

Question

I've started using Redis in my project with the help of the Jedis library. All is working fine but now I have a problem that my functional tests requires Redis to be up which I want to avoid in my Continuous Integration. What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

I've implemented a simple redis embedded runner for Java: https://github.com/kstyrc/embedded-redis

Currently, it uses redis 2.6.14 for*nix and https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis for Windows. However you can utilize RedisServer class to run your own run script.

I plan to extend the implementation to support RedisConf (bind, slaveof, port, dbfilename, etc). After this, I'll upload jar to clojars for mvn deps.
