LocalStack Utils

This Python utility streamlines the integration of Localstack, a local AWS cloud services mock, with unit tests. Seamlessly incorporate Localstack into your Python projects to facilitate efficient and reliable testing of AWS interactions within a controlled local environment. Enhance the development process by utilizing this utility to simulate AWS services during unit testing, ensuring robust and dependable code before deployment.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Localstack

Instalation

pip install localstack-utils

Usage example

import time
import boto3
import unittest
from localstack_utils.localstack import startup_localstack, stop_localstack

class TestKinesis(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        startup_localstack()

    def tearDown(self):
        stop_localstack()
        return super().tearDown()

    def test_create_stream(self):
        kinesis = boto3.client(
            service_name="kinesis",
            aws_access_key_id="test",
            aws_secret_access_key="test",
            endpoint_url="http://localhost:4566",
        )

        kinesis.create_stream(StreamName="test", ShardCount=1)
        time.sleep(1)

        response = kinesis.list_streams()
        self.assertGreater(len(response.get("StreamNames", [])), 0)
