8 Testing

The Redis plugin provides a Groovy mixin called DatastoreUnitTestMixin for testing purposes. This mixin sets up a datastore implementation that operates against an in-memory ConcurrentHashMap. The datastore implementation that operates against an in-memory map is as complete as the one for Redis and provides support for:

Simple persistence methods
Dynamic finders
Criteria
Named queries
Inheritance

You can easily write tests that use the mixin using Groovy's Mixin annotation on any existing unit test:

import grails.datastore.test.DatastoreUnitTestMixin@Mixin(DatastoreUnitTestMixin)
class PersonTests extends GroovyTestCase {
    void testPersist() {
        mockDomain(Person)
        def s = new Simple(name:"Bob")
        s.save()
        assert s.id != null
        s = Simple.get(s.id)
        assert s != null
    }
    void tearDown() {
        disconnect()
    }
}

You should call the mockDomain() method to mock a domain instance and then the remainder of the API is the same. Note that you should call disconnect() in tearDown() otherwise your tests will share data.
