how do you access the internal state as a dictionary? about fakeredis HOT 2 CLOSED

A Redis server has a lot more state than just keys and values - there are expiry times, transactions, watches, pub/sub, configuration, and probably more.

If you only care about the keys and values, then the simplest way to extract it is probably

data = {key: r.dump(key) for key in r.keys()}

which you could then pickle or persist in some other way. Then use restore to load it again.

Note that fakeredis doesn't yet use the proper redis encoding for the DUMP command and it is subject to change in future versions. If you're generating dumps in one part of a test pipeline and consuming them later in the same test pipeline that shouldn't be a problem, but don't treat them as long-term test assets.

thank you! i wound up just writing a big test function for a bunch of units in a row using the same fakeredis instance and it worked like a charm!
