NAME

Test::Mock::Redis - use in place of Redis for unit testing

VERSION

Version 0.08

SYNOPSIS

Test::Mock::Redis can be used in place of Redis for running tests without needing a running redis instance.

    use Test::Mock::Redis;

    my $redis = Test::Mock::Redis->new(server => 'whatever');

    $redis->set($key, 'some value');

    $redis->get($key);

    ...

This module is designed to function as a drop in replacement for Redis.pm for testing purposes.

See perldoc Redis and the redis documentation at http://redis.io

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

    Create a new Test::Mock::Redis object. 

    It can be used in place of a Redis object for unit testing.

    It accepts the "server" argument, just like Redis.pm's new.

TODO

Lots!

Not all Redis functionality is implemented. The test files that output "TODO" are still to be done.

The top of all test files [except 01-basic.t] has the list of commands tested or to-be tested in the file.

Those marked with an "x" are pretty well-tested. Those marked with an "o" need help. Those that are unmarked have no tests, or are un-implemented. For example:

x AUTH <--- has some tests

o KEYS <--- only partially tested and/or implemented

    ZINTERSTORE   <--- not tested (or maybe not implemented)

Beyond that, it would be neat to add methods to inspect how often keys were accessed and get other information that allows the module user to confirm that their code interacted with redis (or Test::Mock::Redis) as they expected.
