Usage example

Running RedisServer is as simple as:

redisServer.start();
// do some work
redisServer.stop();

You can also provide RedisServer with a version to run:

RedisServer redisServer = new RedisServer("2.8.9");

A simple redis integration test would look like this:

public class SomeIntegrationTestThatRequiresRedis {
  private RedisServer redisServer;
  
  @Before
  public void setup() throws Exception {
    redisServer = new RedisServer();
    redisServer.start();
  }
  
  @Test
  public void test() throws Exception {
    // testing code that requires redis running
  }
  
  @After
  public void tearDown() throws Exception {
    redisServer.stop();
  }
}
