test-type

Description

Tests a registered extension to make sure it meets all necessary requirements for being published in the CloudFormation registry.

• For resource types, this includes passing all contracts tests defined for the type.

• For modules, this includes determining if the module’s model meets all necessary requirements.

For more information, see Testing your public extension prior to publishing in the CloudFormation CLI User Guide .

If you don’t specify a version, CloudFormation uses the default version of the extension in your account and region for testing.

To perform testing, CloudFormation assumes the execution role specified when the type was registered. For more information, see RegisterType .

Once you’ve initiated testing on an extension using TestType , you can use DescribeType to monitor the current test status and test status description for the extension.

An extension must have a test status of PASSED before it can be published. For more information, see Publishing extensions to make them available for public use in the CloudFormation CLI User Guide .

Synopsis

  test-type
[--arn <value>]
[--type <value>]
[--type-name <value>]
[--version-id <value>]
[--log-delivery-bucket <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the extension.

Conditional: You must specify Arn , or TypeName and Type .

--type (string)

The type of the extension to test.

Conditional: You must specify Arn , or TypeName and Type .

Possible values:

• RESOURCE

• MODULE

• HOOK

--type-name (string)

The name of the extension to test.

Conditional: You must specify Arn , or TypeName and Type .

--version-id (string)

The version of the extension to test.

You can specify the version id with either Arn , or with TypeName and Type .

If you don’t specify a version, CloudFormation uses the default version of the extension in this account and region for testing.

--log-delivery-bucket (string)

The S3 bucket to which CloudFormation delivers the contract test execution logs.

CloudFormation delivers the logs by the time contract testing has completed and the extension has been assigned a test type status of PASSED or FAILED .

The user calling TestType must be able to access items in the specified S3 bucket. Specifically, the user needs the following permissions:

• GetObject

• PutObject

For more information, see Actions, Resources, and Condition Keys for Amazon S3 in the Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management User Guide .

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To test an extension

The following test-type example tests a registered extension to make sure it meets all necessary requirements for being published in the CloudFormation registry.

aws cloudformation test-type \
    --arn arn:aws:cloudformation:us-west-2:123456789012:type/resource/Sample-Test-Resource123/00000001

Output:

{
    "TypeVersionArn": "arn:aws:cloudformation:us-west-2:123456789012:type/resource/Sample-Test-Resource123/00000001"
}

For more information, see Using the AWS CloudFormation registry in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

Output

TypeVersionArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the extension.
