@architect/destroyArchitect serverless framework module for destroying projects created with Architect
Architect Destroy destroys Architect-generated projects. More specifically, it destroys your projects' CloudFormation Stacks, CloudWatch Log Groups, S3 bucket used during deployment, SSM Parameters added by arc env, and if called with --force (or the force param via API), destroys your DynamoDB (@tables) databases and S3 bucket housing your static assets (@static).
This project uses Node.js's native test runner (node:test) for all testing. The test suite includes unit tests and integration tests.
# Run linter and unit tests
npm test
# Run only unit tests
npm run test:unit
# Run only integration tests
npm run test:integration
# Run tests with coverage report
npm run coverage
Tests are organized in the test/ directory:
test/unit/ - Unit tests for individual modulestest/integration/ - Integration tests for end-to-end scenariostest/helpers/ - Shared test utilities and mock helpersFor detailed information about writing tests, mock patterns, and testing best practices, see TESTING.md.
