Check if Running Locally – AWS SAM & NodeJS

Leave a reply

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post on how to check if code is being run locally with AWS SAM and NodeJS:

// 8+
isRunningLocally = () => {
    return process.env.AWS_SAM_LOCAL === 'true';
}

// 6+
function isRunningLocally() {
    return process.env.AWS_SAM_LOCAL === 'true';
}

AWS 2_ContinuousDeliveryPipeline Tutorial – Error: no test specified

Leave a reply

Hi everyone,

I ran into the following error while completing an AWS tutorial: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-serverless-workshops/tree/master/DevOps/2_ContinuousDeliveryPipeline

C:UsersChris-PCsourcereposUniApiuni-apitest>npm test

> uni-api-test@1.0.0 test C:UsersChris-PCsourcereposUniApiuni-api
> echo ‘Error: no test specified’

‘Error: no test specified’

The solution was to add the following line to my package.json file:

“scripts”: {“test”: “mocha”}

Now when running npm test I get the expected test output:

4 passing (24ms)
1 failing

1) Reading Unicorns
errors on missing unicorn data:

AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: 500 == 404
+ expected – actual

-500
