NAME Test::RedisServer - redis-server runner for tests. SYNOPSIS use Redis; use Test::RedisServer; use Test::More; my $redis_server; eval { $redis_server = Test::RedisServer->new; } or plan skip_all => 'redis-server is required to this test'; my $redis = Redis->new( $redis_server->connect_info ); is $redis->ping, 'PONG', 'ping pong ok'; done_testing; DESCRIPTION METHODS new(%options) my $redis_server = Test::RedisServer->new(%options); Create a new redis-server instance, and start it by default (auto_start option avoid this) Available options are: * auto_start => 0 | 1 (Default: 1) Automatically start redis-server instance (by default). You can disable this feature by "auto_start => 0", and start instance manually by "start" or "exec" method below. * conf => 'HashRef' This is redis.conf key value pair. Any key-value pair supported that redis-server supports. If you want to use this redis.conf: port 9999 databases 16 save 900 1 Your conf parameter will be: Test::RedisServer->new( conf => { port => 9999, databases => 16, save => '900 1', }); * timeout => 'Int' Timeout seconds detecting redis-server is awake or not. (Default: 3) * tmpdir => 'String' Temporal directory, where redis config will be stored. By default it is created for you, but you start Test::RedisServer via exec (e.g. with Test::TCP), you should provide it to be automatically deleted: start Start redis-server instance manually. exec Just exec to redis-server instance. This method is useful to use this module with Test::TCP, Proclet or etc. use File::Temp; use Test::TCP; my $tmp_dir = File::Temp->newdir( CLEANUP => 1 ); test_tcp( client => sub { my ($port, $server_pid) = @_; ... }, server => sub { my ($port) = @_; my $redis = Test::RedisServer->new( auto_start => 0, conf => { port => $port }, tmpdir => $tmp_dir, ); $redis->exec; }, ); stop Stop redis-server instance. This method automatically called when object was DESTROY. connect_info Return connection info for client library to connect this redis-server instance. This parameter is designed to pass directly to Redis module. my $redis_server = Test::RedisServer->new; my $redis = Redis->new( $redis_server->connect_info ); pid Return redis-server instance's process id, or undef when redis-server is not running. wait_exit Block until redis instance exited. SEE ALSO Test::mysqld for mysqld. Test::Memcached for Memcached. This module steals lots of stuffs from above modules. Test::Mock::Redis, another approach for testing redis application.
