Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

MockRedis

✓ from mockredis import MockRedis

✗ from mockredis.mock import MockRedis

common outdated import path

mock_redis_client

✓ from mockredis import mock_redis_client

✗ from mockredis import mock_redis

incorrect function name

Basic usage: create a MockRedis instance and use it like a real redis client.

from mockredis import MockRedis # Create a mock Redis client r = MockRedis() r.set('key', 'value') print(r.get('key')) # b'value'

Debug

Known issues

gotchaMockRedis does not support all Redis commands; scripts (LUA), pub/sub, and certain advanced features are not implemented.

fix

Check the mockredis documentation for supported commands, or use fakeredis as an alternative.

affects: >=2.0.0

deprecatedThe method 'mock_redis' has been renamed to 'mock_redis_client' in newer versions.

fix

Use 'mock_redis_client' instead of 'mock_redis'.

affects: >=2.9.0

gotchaMockRedis returns bytes for string values, similar to redis-py, but may cause confusion when comparing with expected strings.

fix

Decode bytes to string using .decode() if needed: r.get('key').decode()

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: No module named mockredis

The library is not installed or import path is incorrect.

fix

Run 'pip install mockredispy' and ensure the import is 'from mockredis import MockRedis'.

AttributeError: 'MockRedis' object has no attribute 'pipeline'

The installed version may be outdated; older versions of mockredis did not support pipelines.

fix

Upgrade to the latest version: 'pip install --upgrade mockredispy'

TypeError: 'MockRedis' object is not callable

You tried to instantiate MockRedis incorrectly (e.g., MockRedis() but MockRedis is a module).

fix

Use correct import: 'from mockredis import MockRedis' then call 'MockRedis()'
