Building Serverless Microservices in Python

Mocking

There is a Python AWS mocking framework called Moto (http://docs.getmoto.org/en/latest/), but I prefer to use a generic one called mock, which is much more widely supported in the Python community and from Python 3.3 is included in the Python standard library.

The following mocking code can be found at the bottom of serverless-microservice-data-api/test/test_dynamo_get.py:

from unittest import mock     mock.patch.object(lambda_query_dynamo.DynamoRepository,                      "query_by_partition_key",                       return_value=['item'])     def test_validid_checkstatus_status200(self,          mock_query_by_partition_key):        result = lambda_query_dynamo.Controller.get_dynamodb_records(                 self.validJsonDataNoStartDate)        assert result['statusCode'] == '200' @mock.patch.object(lambda_query_dynamo.DynamoRepository, ...
