As framework deals with significant technical debt baggage many of currently configured tests do not resemble practise we want to follow in newly introduced tests.
Please follow this document as the only guideline, it also provides links to tests that serve as a good example to replicate
Tests are configured with Mocha test framework, and can be run with following command
npm test
All new tests should be configured with help of runServerless util - it's the only way to test functionality against completely intialized serverless instance, and it's the only scenario that reflects real world usage.
Check documentation of runServerless at @serverless/test/docs/run-serverless
- Run against config passed inline
- Run against preprepared fixture
- Fixtures can be extended on spot. Whenever possible it's better to extend existing fixture (e.g. basic
function) instead of creating new one (check ALB health check tests for good example on such approach) - If needed introduce new test fixtures at tests/fixtures
- Fixtures can be extended on spot. Whenever possible it's better to extend existing fixture (e.g. basic
Example of test files fully backed by runServerless:
If we're about to add new tests to an existing test file with tests written old way, then best is to create another describe block for new tests at the bottom (as it's done here)
Note: PR's which rewrite existing tests into new method are very welcome! (but, ideally each PR should cover single test file rewrite)
We aim for a (near) 100% test coverage, so make sure your tests cover as much of your code as possible.
During development, you can easily check coverage by running npm run coverage, then opening the index.html file inside the coverage directory.
Run all tests via:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx npm run integration-test-run-all
_Note: Home folder is mocked for test run, therefore relying on AWS_PROFILE won't work. _ and secret key, need to be configured directly into env variables_
Ideally any feature that integrates with AWS functionality should be backed by integration test.
Check existing set of AWS integration tests at tests/integration-all
Pass test file to Mocha directly as follows
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx npx mocha tests/integration-all/{chosen-test}/tests.js
If you add a new template or want to test a template after changing it you can run the template integration tests. Make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed as they are required. The docker containers we're using through compose are automatically including your $HOME/.aws folder so you can deploy to AWS.
To run all integration tests run:
./tests/templates/test-all-templates
To run only a specific integration test run:
tests/templates/integration-test-template TEMPLATE_NAME BUILD_COMMAND
so for example:
tests/templates/integration-test-template aws-java-maven mvn package
If you add a new template make sure to add it to the test-all-templates file and configure the docker-compose.yml file for your template.
