Reliable libraries out there for Spring boot redis integration tests - spring-boot

Question

This is more of a question for a tool - googling around I haven't really had much luck.
So basically I have a standard spring boot app - and I have a unit test redis cache configuration. What I am looking to do is run the app context autowire some spring configs and test against a embedded redis cache if possible.
Closest I have come is this https://github.com/kstyrc/embedded-redis.
Problem with that is the lack of robust logging is making it difficult to run - its working locally, but when I push it up, Unix server build machine, its failing and no idea why.
If anyone has any idea of how to run integration tests this way - it would be great.
thanks,
Stefan

I am using embedded-redis for my integration testing with redisson java client.
Here is my dependency
compile group: 'org.redisson', name: 'redisson', version: '3.6.5'
testCompile group: 'it.ozimov', name: 'embedded-redis', version: '0.7.2'
Start embedded redis server before class and stop it in after class.
Redis property:
spring.redis.host=localhost
spring.redis.port=6379
Sample integration test.

RMap<String, String> map = redissonClient.getMap("user");
map.put("name", "Redis Server");
Assert.assertTrue(map.get("name").equals("Redis Server"));
//mapcache
RMapCache<String, String> mapCache = redissonClient.getMapCache("tempUser");
mapCache.put("name", "Redis Server", 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Assert.assertTrue(mapCache.get("name").equals("Redis Server"));
Thread.sleep(7000); //wait for 7 sec.
Assert.assertTrue(mapCache.get("name") == null);
}
