The APIs of higher level constructs in this module are experimental and under active development. They are subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version. These are not subject to the Semantic Versioning model and breaking changes will be announced in the release notes. This means that while you may use them, you may need to update your source code when upgrading to a newer version of this package.

Overview

This tool has been created to be used initially by this repo (aws/aws-cdk). Long term the goal is for this tool to be a general tool that can be used for running CDK integration tests. We are publishing this tool so that it can be used by the community and we would love to receive feedback on use cases that the tool should support, or issues that prevent the tool from being used in your library.

This tool is meant to be used with the integ-tests library.

Usage

• Run all integration tests in test directory

integ-runner [ARGS] [TEST...]

This will look for all files that match the naming convention of /integ.*.js$/. Each of these files will be expected to be a self contained CDK app. The runner will execute the following for each file (app):

1. Check if a snapshot file exists (i.e. /*.integ.snapshot$/)
2. If the snapshot does not exist 2a. Synth the integ app which will produce the integ.json file
3. Read the integ.json file which contains instructions on what the runner should do.
4. Execute instructions

Options

• --update-on-failed (default=false) Rerun integration tests if snapshot fails
• --clean (default=true) Destroy stacks after deploy (use --no-clean for debugging)
• --verbose (default=false) verbose logging, including integration test metrics (specify multiple times to increase verbosity)
• --parallel-regions (default=us-east-1,us-east-2, us-west-2) List of regions to run tests in. If this is provided then all tests will be run in parallel across these regions
• --directory (default=test) Search for integration tests recursively from this starting directory
• --force (default=false) Rerun integration test even if the test passes
• --profiles List of AWS Profiles to use when running tests in parallel
• --exclude (default=false) If this is set to true then the list of tests provided will be excluded
• --from-file Read the list of tests from this file
• --disable-update-workflow (default=false) If this is set to true then the update workflow will be disabled

Example:

integ-runner --update-on-failed --parallel-regions us-east-1 --parallel-regions us-east-2 --parallel-regions us-west-2 --directory ./

This will search for integration tests recursively from the current directory and then execute them in parallel across us-east-1, us-east-2, & us-west-2.

If you are providing a list of tests to execute, either as CLI arguments or from a file, the name of the test needs to be relative to the directory. For example, if there is a test aws-iam/test/integ.policy.js and the current working directory is aws-iam you would provide integ.policy.js

yarn integ integ.policy.js

Common Workflow

A common workflow to use when running integration tests is to first run the integration tests to see if there are any snapshot differences.

integ-runner

If there are any differences you might see an output like the output below.

Snapshot Results:

Tests:    1 failed, 9 total
Error: Some snapshot tests failed!
To re-run failed tests run: yarn integ-runner --update-on-failed
    at main (packages/@aws-cdk/integ-runner/lib/cli.js:90:15)
error Command failed with exit code 1. 

To re-run the integration test for the failed tests you would then run:

integ-runner --update-on-failed

This will run the snapshot tests and collect all the failed tests. It will then re-execute the integration test for the failed tests and if successful, save the new snapshot.

integ-runner --update-on-failed

Update Workflow

By default, integration tests are run with the "update workflow" enabled. This can be disabled by using the --disable-update-workflow command line option.

If an existing snapshot is being updated, the integration test runner will first deploy the existing snapshot and then perform a stack update with the new changes. This is to test for cases where an update would cause a breaking change only on a stack update.

The integ-runner will also attempt to warn you if you are making any destructive changes with a message like:

!!! This test contains destructive changes !!!
    Stack: aws-cdk-lambda-1 - Resource: MyLambdaServiceRole4539ECB6 - Impact: WILL_DESTROY
    Stack: aws-cdk-lambda-1 - Resource: AliasAliasPermissionAF30F9E8 - Impact: WILL_REPLACE
    Stack: aws-cdk-lambda-1 - Resource: AliasFunctionUrlDC6EC566 - Impact: WILL_REPLACE
    Stack: aws-cdk-lambda-1 - Resource: Aliasinvokefunctionurl4CA9917B - Impact: WILL_REPLACE
!!! If these destructive changes are necessary, please indicate this on the PR !!!

If the destructive changes are expected (and required) then please indicate this on your PR.

New tests

If you are adding a new test which creates a new snapshot then you should run that specific test with --disable-update-workflow. For example, if you are working on a new test integ.new-test.js then you would run:

yarn integ --update-on-failed --disable-update-workflow integ.new-test.js

This is because for a new test we do not need to test the update workflow (there is nothing to update).

Defining an integration test

See the @aws-cdk/integ-tests module for information on how to define integration tests for the runner to exercise.
