// StartAddr runs miniredis with a given addr. Examples: "127.0.0.1:6379",
// ":6379", or "127.0.0.1:0"
func (m *Miniredis) StartAddr(addr string) error {
    s, err := server.NewServer(addr)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }
    return m.start(s)
}

Should do what you want.

Hi, i am trying to use StartAddr, Please see below code snippet

func TestSomething(t *testing.T) {

	// Run the miniredis server
	s := miniredis.NewMiniRedis()
	port := 6370
	s.StartAddr(fmt.Sprintf(":%d", port))
	err := s.Start()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error starting Miniredis:", err)
		return
	}
	}

but i am getting
=== RUN TestSomething
Error starting Miniredis: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:6370: bind: address already in use

even though this port is free
lsof -i :6370

i have also tried using different port numbers still the same error, Am i using it correctly or something is missed here?

Thanks, that sounds weird. Can't have a look right now but will try soon(ish).

[amanhasank]

thanks.

	s.StartAddr(fmt.Sprintf(":%d", port))
	err := s.Start()

you only need one of the Start... calls. So remove the s.Start() call and then it's:

	err := s.StartAddr(fmt.Sprintf(":%d", port))

That Works, thanks a lot.
