This happened to me but before I setup redis to use a different
database for my test environment.
I have a specific redis.yml that contains this:
development:
url: redis://localhost:6769/0
test:
url: redis://localhost:6769/1
In that way, databases are keep separated from each other.
It is also important that you flush all the keys of your redis
instance between tests. Similar to what RSpec does for your database,
you need to perform it for redis.
I do it using a before(:each) { $redis.flushall }
Just to ensure integrity and no leftover from my previous test.
Will be great if you can show a little bit about your specs (exact
spec code) and configuration so we can try replicate. Sometimes the
error is there, but hidden somewhere else.
