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 This means that while you may use them, you may need to update your source code when upgrading to a newer version of this package.

Usage

Suppose you have a simple stack, that only encapsulates a Lambda function with a certain handler:

interface StackUnderTestProps extends StackProps {
  functionProps?: lambda.FunctionProps;
}

class StackUnderTest extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props: StackUnderTestProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
	
    new lambda.Function(this, 'Handler', {
      runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_12_X,
      handler: 'index.handler',
      code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(path.join(__dirname, 'lambda-handler')),
      ...props.functionProps,
    });
  }
}

You may want to test this stack under different conditions. For example, we want this stack to be deployed correctly, regardless of the architecture we choose for the Lambda function. In particular, it should work for both ARM_64 and X86_64. So you can create an IntegTestCase that exercises both scenarios:

interface StackUnderTestProps extends StackProps {
  architecture?: lambda.Architecture;
}

class StackUnderTest extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props: StackUnderTestProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
	
    new lambda.Function(this, 'Handler', {
      runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_12_X,
      handler: 'index.handler',
      code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(path.join(__dirname, 'lambda-handler')),
      architecture: props.architecture,
    });
  }
}

// Beginning of the test suite
const app = new App();

const stack = new Stack(app, 'stack');
new IntegTestCase(stack, 'DifferentArchitectures', {
  stacks: [
    new StackUnderTest(app, 'Stack1', {
      architecture: lambda.Architecture.ARM_64,
    }),
    new StackUnderTest(app, 'Stack2', {
      architecture: lambda.Architecture.X86_64,
    }),
  ],
});

This is all the instruction you need for the integration test runner to know which stacks to synthesize, deploy and destroy. But you may also need to customize the behavior of the runner by changing its parameters. For example:

const app = new App();

const stackUnderTest = new Stack(app, 'StackUnderTest', /* ... */);

const stack = new Stack(app, 'stack');

new IntegTestCase(stack, 'CustomizedDeploymentWorkflow', {
  stacks: [stackUnderTest],
  diffAssets: true,
  stackUpdateWorkflow: true,
  cdkCommandOptions: {
    deploy: {
      args: {
        requireApproval: RequireApproval.NEVER,
        json: true,
      },
	  },
    destroy: {
      args: {
        force: true,
      },
    },
  },
});
