Introduction
This GitHub Action starts a Redis server on the default port 6379.
This is useful when running tests against a Redis database.
Usage
A code example says more than a 1000 words. Here’s an exemplary GitHub Action using a Redis server in versions 4 and 5 to test a Node.js app:
name: Run tests
on: [push]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
matrix:
node-version: [10.x, 12.x, 14.x]
redis-version: [4, 5, 6]
steps:
- name: Git checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
uses: actions/setup-node@v1
with:
node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
- name: Start Redis
uses: supercharge/[email protected]
with:
redis-version: ${{ matrix.redis-version }}
- run: npm install
- run: npm test
env:
CI: trueUsing Redis on a Custom Port
You can start the Redis instance on a custom port using the redis-port input:
name: Run tests
on: [push]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
matrix:
node-version: [14.x, 16.x]
redis-version: [4, 5, 6]
steps:
- name: Start Redis
uses: supercharge/[email protected]
with:
redis-version: ${{ matrix.redis-version }}
redis-port: 12345
- name: …Using a Custom Container Name
This GitHub Action provides a Redis Docker container. The default container name is redis. It can be helpful to customize the container name. For example, when running multiple Redis instances in parallel. You can customize the container name using the redis-container-name input:
name: Run tests
on: [push]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
matrix:
node-version: [14.x, 16.x]
redis-version: [4, 5, 6]
steps:
- name: Start Redis
uses: supercharge/[email protected]
with:
redis-version: ${{ matrix.redis-version }}
redis-container-name: redis-auth-token-cache
