Use decorator to mock redis connection in Symfony

Wed, 29 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000

To use redis conveniently in my Symfony projects, I use Snc Redis Bundle that automagically defines the service snc_redis.default_client which is injected as arguments in other service. But here comes the functional tests, and the redis server is not up, or not in a “clean” state.

RedisMock from M6Web can helps by mocking the redis functions but I needed to replace the snc bundle services in the test env only.

I’ve found decorating the snc service in services_test.xml convenient:

    <service
        id="snc_redis.default_client.mock"
        class="M6Web\Component\RedisMock\RedisMock"
        decorates="snc_redis.default_client"
    >
        <factory service="M6Web\Component\RedisMock\RedisMockFactory" method="getAdapter"/>
        <argument>Predis\Client</argument>

    </service>

What do you think?
