Embedded Redis for Spring Boot

Question

I run my Integration Test cases with Spring Boot with the help of my local Redis server on my machine.

But I want an embedded Redis server which is not dependent on any

Answer 1

You can use ozimov/embedded-redis as a Maven(-test)-dependency (this is the successor of kstyrc/embedded-redis).

1. Add the dependency to your pom.xml

   
     ...
     
       it.ozimov
       embedded-redis
       0.7.1
       test
     
   

2. Adjust your application properties for your integration test

   spring.redis.host=localhost
   spring.redis.port=6379
   

3. Use the embedded redis server in a test configuration

   @TestConfiguration
   public static class EmbededRedisTestConfiguration {
   
     private final redis.embedded.RedisServer redisServer;
   
     public EmbededRedisTestConfiguration(@Value("${spring.redis.port}") final int redisPort) throws IOException {
       this.redisServer = new redis.embedded.RedisServer(redisPort);
     }
   
     @PostConstruct
     public void startRedis() {
       this.redisServer.start();
     }
   
     @PreDestroy
     public void stopRedis() {
       this.redisServer.stop();
     }
   }
