Got my app ported from elixir to serverless finally. Next step is refactoring postgres for dynamo. Realizing I'm not sure how to run my jest tests anymore since they need dynamo access. How are people doing this?

Were ur jest tests running against a local postgres?

jest mock the dynamodb client, something like this:

const mockDynamoDBError = jest.fn();
const mockDynamoDBData = jest.fn();
jest.mock('aws-sdk/clients/dynamodb', () => {
  return class DynamoDB {
    getItem(_params, callback) {
      callback(mockDynamoDBError(), mockDynamoDBData())
    }

    putItem(_params, callback) {
      callback(mockDynamoDBError(), mockDynamoDBData())
    }

    deleteItem(_params, callback) {
      callback(mockDynamoDBError(), mockDynamoDBData())
    }
  }
})

Why did you ported from elixir? isn’t that language trending right now?

I use dynamo db local

@Frank Yeah previously running against a local postgres @Adrián Mouly I got into elixir like 5 years ago and it was the default way I was building things and using my own framework I had developed. Saw the light with serverless and was ready to move on. It's a side project so using it to learn Got it so looks like people are either mocking it or using dynamodb local. Wonder if in the serverless world there will be a new pattern of running your tests in a lambda with access to all the real infra

Yup - I do that for other resources, running dynamo locally just reduces the latency to make tests run faster

lol I had another question about an empty

sk

with dynamo-toolbox and I found your answer in a github issue

"Saw the light with serverless and was ready to move on." Big agreement with that. 🎉
