This repository contains C++ code for implementing a Redis queue, comprising a queue pusher, a queue consumer, and tests.

1. Prerequisites:

   • C++ compiler with C++11 support
   • Boost C++ Libraries
   • Redis server (for running the queue consumer and tests)

2. Setting up Boost C++ Libraries:

   • Download and install Boost C++ Libraries from boost.org.
   • Make sure Boost is properly configured and available in your build environment.

3. Setting up Redis Server:

   • Install and configure Redis server on your machine. You can follow instructions from the official Redis website.

4. Building the Code:

   • Clone this repository to your local machine.
   • Navigate to the root directory of the repository.
   • Compile the code using a C++ compiler, linking against Boost Libraries. For example:

     g++ -o queue-pusher queue-pusher.cpp -I /usr/include/boost/ -lpthread -lcrypto -lssl
     g++ -o queue-consumer queue-consumer.cpp -I /usr/include/boost/ -lpthread -lcrypto -lssl
     g++ -o redis-test redis-test.cpp  -I /usr/include/boost/ -lgtest -lgtest_main -lgmock -lpthread
     

1. Queue Pusher:

   • Compile queue-pusher.cpp using the provided installation guide.
   • Run the compiled executable. It will prompt you to enter data to push to the Redis queue. Press Ctrl+D to finish input.
   • The data entered will be pushed onto the Redis queue named my_queue.

2. Queue Consumer:

   • Compile queue-consumer.cpp using the provided installation guide.
   • Run the compiled executable with the following command line arguments:

     ./queue-consumer [HOST] [PORT] [Name of Queue] [optional: Number of Elements to Pop]
     

     Replace [HOST], [PORT], and [Name of Queue] with the appropriate values. Optionally, specify the number of elements to pop from the queue.
   • The consumer will connect to the Redis server, pop the specified number of elements from the queue, and print them.

3. Running Tests:

   • Compile redis-test.cpp using the provided installation guide.
   • Run the compiled test executable. It will execute test cases for the Producer class.
   • The tests verify that the Producer correctly sends data to the Redis queue.

• Make sure Redis server is running before executing the queue consumer and tests.
• Adjust Redis server configurations and connection settings as per your environment.
