Fakeriak: a fake Riak client for testing

Fakeriak is an Apache2 licensed library, written in Python, for testing code that uses the Python Riak client.

A Fakeriak client contains a very simple, in-memory storage backend. An ordinary Riak client can simply be replaced with a Fakeriak client during unit testing, thus enabling the testing of components that depend on Riak.

test_payload = b'test'

riak_client = FakeRiakClient()
obj = riak_client.bucket('default').new(content_type='binary/octet-stream')
obj.data = test_payload
obj.store()

assert riak_client.bucket('default').get(obj.key).data == test_payload

Features

• only default, simple buckets
• RiakBucket.new, RiakBucket.get, RiakBucket.delete, RiakBucket.multiget
• RiakObject.store(), RiakObject.delete(), RiakObject.exists
• no concurrency (sibling) support

Installation

To install Fakeriak (preferably in a virtualenv), simply:

$ pip install fakeriak
