In the `.env.test` file uncomment the `NODE_OPTIONS` variable. Execute the test command with the `--runInBand` option ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:test --runInBand ``` A message is printed out to the console similar to the one below ``` Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/15755f9f-6e5d-4c5e-917b-d2b8e9dec5d2 ``` Any Node.js debugger can be used for debugging. In this example, [the Chrome browser will be used](#debug-in-chrome). ### Synthesize CloudFormation Stacks To synthesize all Dev environment stacks execute ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:cdk synth "Dev/*" --profile <AwsCliDevEnvironmentProfile> ``` or use the shorthand command ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:synth -c dev --profile <AwsCliDevEnvironmentProfile> ``` or ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:synth:dev --profile <AwsCliDevEnvironmentProfile> ``` Use the `.env` file to define the AWS accounts and regions for the environments. If the environment variables aren't defined, the account and region are retrieved from the AWS CLI profile. Please note that the AWS CLI profile values might vary per user. The synthesized CloudFormation stacks are stored in `cdk.out`. > **Note:** > If SSO is used to authenticate, then it is required to log in before executing this command. #### Debug Add the `debugger;` statement to the infrastructure code at the location where the debugging session should start. In the `.env` file set `CDK_DEBUG` to true. [Synthesize all Dev environment stacks](#synthesize-cloudformation-stacks). A message is printed out to the console similar to the one below ``` Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/15755f9f-6e5d-4c5e-917b-d2b8e9dec5d2 ``` Any Node.js debugger can be used for debugging. In this example, [the Chrome browser will be used](#debug-in-chrome). ### Invoke a Lambda Function Locally [Synthesize all Dev environment stacks](#synthesize-cloudformation-stacks). Open the `cdk.out` directory and search for the Dev environment CloudFormation template, which should have a file name similar to `DevAdventialsE766A003.template.json`. Copy the file name. To invoke the example Lambda function locally with the test event stored in `events/sum/sum7.json` execute ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:invoke ExampleFunction -t cdk.out/<DevTemplateJson> -e "events/sum/sum7.json" ``` The Lambda function result `{"sum": 7}` is printed out to the console. If this command is executed for the first time, it might take a while since the Lambda Docker image has to be pulled first. #### Debug Add the `debugger;` statement to the runtime code at the location where the debugging session should start. [Synthesize all Dev environment stacks](#synthesize-cloudformation-stacks). In the `samconfig.toml` file uncomment the `debug_port` variable of the `[default.local_invoke.parameters]` section. [Invoke a Lambda function locally](#invoke-a-lambda-function-locally). A message is printed out to the console similar to the one below ``` Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/15755f9f-6e5d-4c5e-917b-d2b8e9dec5d2 ``` Any Node.js debugger can be used for debugging. In this example, [the Chrome browser will be used](#debug-in-chrome). ### Start all Lambda Functions Locally [Synthesize all Dev environment stacks](#synthesize-cloudformation-stacks). Open the `cdk.out` directory and search for the Dev environment CloudFormation template, which should have a file name similar to `DevAdventialsE766A003.template.json`. Copy the file name. To start all Lambda functions locally execute ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:start-lambda -t cdk.out/<DevTemplateJson> ``` If this command is executed for the first time, it might take a while since the Lambda Docker image has to be pulled first. The following message is printed out to the console ``` * Running on http://127.0.0.1:3001 ``` Find the example function resource name in the `cdk.out/<DevTemplateJson>`, which should be similar to `ExampleFunctionB28997EC`. To invoke the example Lambda function execute ```bash aws lambda invoke response.json --function-name <ExampleFunctionResourceName> --endpoint-url "http://127.0.0.1:3001" --payload "fileb://<%= projectName %>/events/sum/sum7.json" --region <DevRegion> --profile <DevProfile> ``` The Lambda function result `{"sum": 7}` is stored in the `<WorkspaceRoot>/response.json` file. The [@aws-sdk/client-lambda](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aws-sdk/client-lambda) package can also be used to invoke a Lambda function ```typescript import { InvocationType, InvokeCommand, LambdaClient, LogType } from '@aws-sdk/client-lambda'; import { fromSSO } from '@aws-sdk/credential-providers'; import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'; import { join, resolve } from 'node:path'; const lambdaClient = new LambdaClient({ credentials: fromSSO({ profile: '<DevProfile>', }), region: '<DevRegion>', endpoint: 'http://127.0.0.1:3001', maxAttempts: 3, }); const payload = await readFile(resolve(join('<WorkspaceRoot>', '<%= projectName %>', 'events/sum/sum7.json')), { encoding: 'utf-8' }); const response = await lambdaClient.send( new InvokeCommand({ FunctionName: '<ExampleFunctionResourceName>', InvocationType: InvocationType.RequestResponse, LogType: LogType.None, Payload: payload, }), ); ``` #### Debug Add the `debugger;` statement to the runtime code at the location where the debugging session should start. [Synthesize all Dev environment stacks](#synthesize-cloudformation-stacks). In the `samconfig.toml` file uncomment the `debug_port` variable of the `[default.local_start_lambda.parameters]` section. [Start all Lambda functions and invoke an individual Lambda function locally](#start-all-lambda-functions-locally). A message is printed out to the console similar to the one below ``` Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/15755f9f-6e5d-4c5e-917b-d2b8e9dec5d2 ``` Any Node.js debugger can be used for debugging. In this example, [the Chrome browser will be used](#debug-in-chrome). ### Start an API Gateway Locally [Synthesize all Dev environment stacks](#synthesize-cloudformation-stacks). Open the `cdk.out` directory and search for the Dev environment CloudFormation template, which should have a file name similar to `DevAdventialsE766A003.template.json`. Copy the file name. To start an API Gateway locally execute ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:start-api -t cdk.out/<DevTemplateJson> ``` If this command is executed for the first time, it might take a while since the Lambda Docker image has to be pulled first. The following message is printed out to the console ``` * Running on http://127.0.0.1:3000 ``` To call the endpoint `product` execute ```bash curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:3000/product?a=5&b=7" ``` The result `{"product":35}` is printed out to the console. #### Debug Add the `debugger;` statement to the runtime code at the location where the debugging session should start. [Synthesize all Dev environment stacks](#synthesize-cloudformation-stacks). In the `samconfig.toml` file uncomment the `debug_port` variable of the `[default.local_start_api.parameters]` section. [Start an API Gateway locally and call an endpoint](#start-an-api-gateway-locally). A message is printed out to the console similar to the one below ``` Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/15755f9f-6e5d-4c5e-917b-d2b8e9dec5d2 ``` Any Node.js debugger can be used for debugging. In this example, [the Chrome browser will be used](#debug-in-chrome). ### Deploy the CDK Application #### Bootstrap The AWS CDK bootstraps an account and region combination by deploying a predefined bootstrap CloudFormation stack to it. The bootstrap stack has to be deployed only once before multiple deployments can take place. If no bootstrap resources are required, an account and region combination doesn't have to be bootstrapped. Execute the following command for every account and region combination that should be bootstrapped ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:cdk bootstrap "<AwsAccountNumber>/<AwsRegion>" --profile <AwsCliEnvironmentProfile> ``` Re-run this command to update the bootstrap CloudFormation stack in place. #### Deploy To deploy all Dev environment stacks execute ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:cdk deploy "Dev/*" --profile <AwsCliDevEnvironmentProfile> ``` or use the shorthand command ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:deploy -c dev --profile <AwsCliDevEnvironmentProfile> ``` or ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:deploy:dev --profile <AwsCliDevEnvironmentProfile> ``` To deploy all Stage environment stacks execute ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:deploy:stage --profile <AwsCliStageEnvironmentProfile> ``` To deploy all Prod environment stacks execute ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:deploy:prod --profile <AwsCliProdEnvironmentProfile> ``` Use the `.env` file to define the AWS accounts and regions for the environments. If the environment variables aren't defined, the account and region are retrieved from the AWS CLI profile. Please note that the AWS CLI profile values might vary per user. > **Note:** > If SSO is used to authenticate, then it is required to log in before executing this command. #### Watch To automatically rerun the deployment after a file has been changed, execute ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:watch:dev --profile <AwsCliDevEnvironmentProfile> ``` The AWS CDK CLI will try to directly update the affected services (hotswap). By appending the `--hotswap-fallback` option, a CloudFormation deployment will be performed if a direct service update isn't feasible. ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:watch:dev --profile <AwsCliDevEnvironmentProfile> --hotswap-fallback ``` > **Note:** > The AWS CDK watch mode is meant for development deployments and shouldn't be used to deploy production resources. #### Deploy the CDK Application and its Dependencies The situation might arise that a cloud resource is needed by multiple CloudFormation stacks of the same application. In this case, the cloud resource could be easily shared between the stacks by [introducing a shared stack](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/resources.html#resource_stack). If the cloud resource is needed by multiple CDK applications, then it makes sense to introduce a shared application. The shared application should be deployed before the applications that depend on it. If multiple applications depend on a shared application, then they have to declare this dependency explicitly. Every application that depends on the shared application has to set the following property in their `project.json` file ```json { ... "implicitDependencies": ["<SharedAppName>"], ... } ``` The dependencies between applications and libraries can be checked via the following command ```bash nx graph ``` If an application and all the applications it depends on should be deployed to the Dev environment, then the following command can be executed ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:deploy-all:dev --profile <AwsCliDevEnvironmentProfile> --verbose ``` A similar command could be executed for the Stage and Prod environment. This command uses the Nx dependency graph to determine the deployment order. The given command-line arguments are used for every application deployment in the dependency chain. The following command could be used in a CI/CD pipeline to deploy all applications that have been changed and the applications they depend on ```bash nx affected -t deploy-all -c dev --profile Dev --verbose --require-approval never --ci ``` Nx determines if an application has changed by a given git commit range. Please consult the [Nx documentation](https://nx.dev/nx-api/nx/documents/affected) for further details. > **Note:** > If SSO is used to authenticate, then it is required to log in before executing this command. ### E2E Testing #### Testing in the Cloud [Testing serverless applications in the cloud](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/testing-guide.html) is the testing technique that is preferred by AWS. It offers the following benefits > - You can test every available service. > - You are always using the most recent service APIs and return values. > - A cloud test environment closely resembles your production environment. > - Tests can cover security policies, service quotas, configurations and infrastructure-specific parameters. > - Every developer can quickly create one or more testing environments in the cloud. > - Cloud tests increase confidence your code will run correctly in production. The AWS CDK supports this testing technique with its watch mode. The AWS CDK watch mode offers direct AWS resource updates and as a fallback CloudFormation deployments without rollback. These features significantly speed up the deployment of incremental changes during the development. > **Note:** > The AWS CDK watch mode is meant for development deployments and shouldn't be used to deploy production resources. #### Execute the E2E Tests This plugin supports testing in the cloud by creating an E2E application for every CDK application. The E2E tests are used to ensure that the cloud application works as expected. Please set the environment-specific profile and region in the `.env.e2e` file of the E2E application. Use the `E2E_ENVIRONMENT` environment variable to specify the environment that should be tested. [Deploy the application into the specified environment](#deploy). To run the E2E tests against the specified environment execute ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>-e2e:e2e ``` Add the `--codeCoverage` option to enable code coverage. ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>-e2e:e2e --codeCoverage ``` #### Watch To automatically rerun the E2E tests after a file has been changed, execute ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>-e2e:e2e --watch ``` #### Debug Add the `debugger;` statement to the code at the location where the debugging session should start. In the `.env.e2e` file uncomment the `NODE_OPTIONS` variable. Execute the E2E test command with the `--runInBand` option ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>-e2e:e2e --runInBand ``` A message is printed out to the console similar to the one below ``` Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/15755f9f-6e5d-4c5e-917b-d2b8e9dec5d2 ``` Any Node.js debugger can be used for debugging. In this example, [the Chrome browser will be used](#debug-in-chrome). ### Generate an Event Lambda functions are invoked with events. These events are either AWS service-specific events or custom events. Mock events are regularly needed for local and E2E testing. They can be stored inside the `events` directory of the CDK application or E2E application. The `generate-event` command can be used to create AWS service-specific mock events. In the following example, a mock event is created for a Lambda function that is invoked on a regular schedule ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:generate-event cloudwatch scheduled-event --region eu-central-1 ``` The following command has to be executed for the E2E application ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>-e2e:generate-event cloudwatch scheduled-event --region eu-central-1 ``` The generated event is printed out to the console. It can be copied and stored in a new file inside the `events` directory. ### CDK Application Commands Reference #### lint ```bash nx run <%= projectName %>:lint [Options] ``` The [lint](https://nx.dev/nx-api/eslint/executors/lint) command is used to lint the application with ESLint (see [Lint the CDK Application](#lint-the-cdk-application)).
