Run your Serverless tests using Jest, quickly and easily! This project exposes a Lambda Wrapper to your tests in order to make it effortless and easy to test your lambdas.

Installing is as easy as:

npm install serverless jest jest-environment-serverless

Update your Jest configuration to set the testEnvironment to jest-environment-serverless:

package.json

{
  "name": "my-project",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "jest"
  },
  "jest": {
    "testEnvironment": "jest-environment-serverless"
  }
}

Use Serverless in your tests:

describe('Hello Lambda', () => {
  let wrapper;

  beforeAll(async () => {
    wrapper = await LambdaWrapper.getWrapper('hello');
  });

  it('says hello', async () => {
    const event = { name: 'Bob' };
    const response = await wrapper.run(event);
    expect(response).toHaveProperty('message', 'Hi Bob!');
  });
});

Run your tests:

npm test

This global variable provides convenient access to the lambda-wrapper module in order to simulate lambda executions for the given events and contexts, fully initialized with your Serverless configuration, providing a more accurate and thorough testing scenario than attempting to invoke and test your lambdas directly.

When provided with a valid Serverless function name, getWrapper will return a configured, ready-to-run lambda wrapper.

With a simple serverless.yml

service: jest-test-suite
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs8.10
  region: us-east-1
  environment:
    STAGE: prod-stage-test
functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello
    environment:
      HELLO: "world ${self:provider.region}"

You can obtain a reference to the hello lambda in order to simulate various conditions and assert the expected behaviors:

describe('Hello Lambda', () => {
  let wrapper;

  beforeAll(async () => {
    wrapper = await LambdaWrapper.getWrapper('hello');
  });

  it('says hello', async () => {
    const event = { name: 'Bob' };
    const response = await wrapper.run(event);
    expect(response).toHaveProperty('message', 'Hi Bob!');
  });
});

This global variable provides access to a number of properties that can be safely ignored in nearly all but the most challenging test scenarios. These are primarily used by the LambdaWrapper in order to discover the service and configuration for a given lambda during testing.

This provides direct access to the Serverless class.

Exposes the root directory used by Serverless to load the configuration and plugins from. By default, this value is set to the cwd.

This provides direct access to the initialized Serverless instance in case it is needed to help assert or verify anything during testing. With this, you can access:

• processed configuration
• loaded services
• loaded plugins
• variables

You can also dynamically modify the configuration or services to assist while testing, without needing to manage multiple test projects or copying files to temporary directories.

Exposes the environment variables for the function defined in your Serverless Configuration. For example:

With a simple serverless.yml

service: jest-test-suite
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs8.10
  region: us-east-1
  environment:
    STAGE: prod-stage-test
functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello
    environment:
      HELLO: "world ${self:provider.region}"

Calling getEnv would return:

// This is the name of the lambda declared in the "functions" block in the
// serverless.yml
const envVars = ServerlessWrapper.getEnv('hello');
assert.deepEqual(envVars, { HELLO: 'world us-east-1' });

Updates process.env with the environment variables for the function defined in your Serverless Configuration. For example:

With a simple serverless.yml

service: jest-test-suite
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs8.10
  region: us-east-1
  environment:
    STAGE: prod-stage-test
functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello
    environment:
      HELLO: "world ${self:provider.region}"
  goodbye:
    handler: handler.goodbye
    environment:
      HELLO: "cruel world"
      GOODBYE: "world ${self:provider.region}"

Calling setEnv would return:

// All serverless env vars are initially loaded, but lambda env vars are
// not prioritized and may override one another
assert.deepEqual(process.env, {
  ...
  HELLO: 'cruel world',
  GOODBYE: 'world us-east-1',
  ...
});
// This is the name of the lambda declared in the "functions" block in the
// serverless.yml
const envVars = ServerlessWrapper.setEnv('hello');

// The "hello" lambda env vars have been loaded and take priority over all
// others
assert.deepEqual(process.env, {
  ...
  HELLO: 'world us-east-1',
  GOODBYE: 'world us-east-1',
  ...
});
