Unit testing fails with FakeRedis during caching on custom model about django-waffle HOT 3 CLOSED

Update: we have since upgraded to the latest version of fakeredis: 2.20.1. But still encountering this issue during unit testing.

from django-waffle.

Another update: rather than try to get to the bottom of the Redis issues, I am looking at skipping the cache while in test mode. I am using WAFFLE_READ_FROM_WRITE_DB = True in settings.py, but this does not have any effect.

I am beginning to think my custom Flag model is either missing a function, or has a function that is written incorrectly. Has anyone else run into anything like this?

Resolution: I am patching django_redis.cache.RedisCache.delete_many:

from unittest.mock import patch

# ..
# ..

    @patch("django_redis.cache.RedisCache.delete_many")
    def test_name_goes_here(self, mock_redis_delete_many):
        mock_redis_delete_many.return_value = None  # Mock the delete_many call to return None
        with override_flag("myFeatureFlag", active=True):
          # test itself went here
