DynamoDB backend for Mandoline.
Most of the tests in this project need to interact with dynamodb. Sometimes running these tests with the real dynamodb can be very slow, so we have provided and option to run these tests against a local instance of dynamodb. This local instance is not exactly the same as the real thing, but is a close approximation.
If you create a test with the deftest* macro it will actually create two
tests for you, one marked with the ^:local selector and one marked with the
^:integration. The one marked with ^:local will try to connect to the local
instance of dynamodb instead of the real thing.
To run just the tests that interact with the real dynamodb: lein test :integration. You will need the environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_KEY in your environment.
To run just the tests that interact with the local dynamodb, you will need to
be running the local dynamodb process. Then run: lein test :local
- Get the jar file from: http://dynamodb-local.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/dynamodb_local_2014-01-08.tar.gz
- cd to dynamodb_local_XXXX-XX-XX dir
- Run the process with:
java -Djava.library.path=DynamoDBLocal_lib -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar --inMemory
By default, when lein test is run, all tests except the ones marked with
^:integration will be run (i.e. unit tests and ^:local tests). Keep in mind
using deftest* means that you have actually made two tests. Make sure that
you use this macro to make all new dynamodb tests so that both kinds of tests
will be generated.
