AWS CodeDeploy Java code examples

This README discusses how to run and test the Java code examples for AWS CodeDeploy.

Running the AWS CodeDeploy Java files

The credential provider used in all code examples is the default credentials provider. For more information, see Using credentials.

IMPORTANT

The Java examples perform AWS operations for the account and AWS Region for which you've specified credentials, and you may incur AWS service charges by running them. See the AWS Pricing page for details about the charges you can expect for a given service and operation.

Some of these examples perform destructive operations on AWS resources, such as deleting an application. Be very careful when running an operation that deletes or modifies AWS resources in your account. It's best to create separate test-only resources when experimenting with these examples.

To run these examples, you can setup your development environment to use Apache Maven or Gradle to configure and build AWS SDK for Java projects. For more information, see Get started with the AWS SDK for Java 2.x.

Testing the AWS CodeDeploy files

You can test the Java code examples for AWS CodeCommit by running a test file named CodeDeployTest. This file uses JUnit 5 to run the JUnit tests and is located in the src/test/java folder. For more information, see https://junit.org/junit5/.

You can execute the JUnit tests from a Java IDE, such as IntelliJ, or from the command line by using Maven. As each test is ran, you can view messages that inform you if the various tests succeed or fail. For example, the following message informs you that Test 3 passed.

Test 3 passed

WARNING: Running these JUnit tests manipulates real Amazon resources and may incur charges on your account.

Properties file

Before running the AWS CodeDeployTest JUnit tests, you must define values in the config.properties file located in the resources folder. This file contains values that are required to execute the JUnit tests. For example, you define an application name. If you do not define all values, the JUnit tests fail.

Define these values to successfully run the JUnit tests:

appName - The name of a new application to create.
existingApp – The name of an existing application (if one does not exist, create it using the AWS Web Console).
newDeploymentGroupName – The name of the deployment group to create.
existingDeployment – The name of an existing deployment group.
bucketName – The name of the S3 bucket that contains the ZIP to deploy.
key – The key located in the S3 bucket (ie, mywebapp.zip).
bundleType – The bundle type (ie, zip).
serviceRoleArn – A service role Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that allows AWS CodeDeploy to act on the user's behalf.
tagKey – The tag filter key (ie, AppName) .
tagValue – The tag filter value (ie, mywebapp).

Note: To help setup these resources, for example, a deployment group, it is recommended that you complete the AWS tutorials here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/tutorials.html.

Command line

To execute the JUnit tests from the command line, you can use the following command.

	mvn test

You will see output from the JUnit tests, as shown here.

Unsuccessful tests

If you do not define the correct values in the properties file, your JUnit tests are not successful. You will see an error message such as the following. You need to double-check the values that you set in the properties file and run the tests again.
