One test should only verify a single feature/method. I.e., one test for create_resource(), another for update_resource(), etc.
When writing negative tests, try to use the following format:
python
- with pytest.raises(botocore.exceptions.ClientError) as exc:
client.failing_call(..)
err = exc.value.response["Error"] # These assertions use the 'sure' library, but any assertion style is accepted err["Code"].should.equal(..) err["Message"].should.equal(..)
This is the best way to ensure that exceptions are dealt with correctly by Moto.
Our CI runs all tests twice - one normal run, and one run in ServerMode. In ServerMode, Moto is started as a stand-alone Flask server, and all tests are run against this Flask-instance.
To verify whether your tests pass in ServerMode, you can run the following commands:
bash
moto_server TEST_SERVER_MODE=true pytest -sv tests/test_service/..
To speed up our CI, the ServerMode tests for the awslambda, batch, ec2 and sqs services will run in parallel. This means the following:
- Make sure you use unique names for functions/queues/etc
- Calls to describe_reservations()/list_queues()/etc might return resources from other tests
