Separate Redis database for testing in Laravel

I'm using Redis to store user-defined config for my Laravel app. I want to know how can I separate the Redis database is being used while testing from the one that is going to be used in for production? That's because I need to flush Redis before each test case and I don't want this to touch my data in main (production) Redis database.

You can use a different Redis database. In your config/database.php:

       'default' => [
            [
                'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
                'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
                'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
                'database' => env('REDIS_DB', 0),
            ],
        ],

You can set a different REDIS_DB in your .env.testing (e.g. REDIS_DB=1)
