robotframework-dynamodbsqllibrary 0.3.1

An Amazon AWS DynamoDB big data testing library for Robot Framework with SQL-like DSL

Introduction

DynamoDB SQL Library is a big data testing library for Robot Framework that gives you the capability to execute scan and query operations against multi Amazon DynamoDB sessions simultaneously using a SQL-like DSL.

It leverages DynamoDB Query Languange (DQL) internally to provide a SQL-like DSL for Amazon DynamoDB.

More information about DQL queries can be found in the DQL Queries Documentation.

More information about this library can be found in the Keyword Documentation.

Example

Create DynamoDB Session	us-west-2	label=oregon
Create DynamoDB Session	ap-southeast-1	label=singapore
Create DynamoDB Session	eu-central-1	label=frankfurt
Query DynamoDB	oregon	CREATE TABLE mine (id STRING HASH KEY)
Query DynamoDB	singapore	CREATE TABLE mine (id STRING HASH KEY)
Query DynamoDB	frankfurt	CREATE TABLE mine (id STRING HASH KEY)
DynamoDB Table Should Exist	oregon	mine
DynamoDB Table Should Exist	singapore	mine
DynamoDB Table Should Exist	frankfurt	mine
Query DynamoDB	oregon	INSERT INTO mine (id) VALUES (‘oregon’)
Query DynamoDB	singapore	INSERT INTO mine (id) VALUES (‘singapore’)
Query DynamoDB	frankfurt	INSERT INTO mine (id) VALUES (‘frankfurt’)
@{oregon} =	Query DynamoDB	oregon	SCAN mine
@{singapore} =	Query DynamoDB	singapore	SCAN mine
@{frankfurt} =	Query DynamoDB	frankfurt	SCAN mine
List And JSON String Should Be Equal		${oregon}	[{“id”:”oregon”}]
List And JSON String Should Be Equal		${singapore}	[{“id”:”singapore”}]
List And JSON String Should Be Equal		${frankfurt}	[{“id”:”frankfurt”}]
Delete All Dynamodb Sessions

Config and Credentials File

Set up config file in default location:

• ~/.aws/config (Linux/Mac)

• %USERPROFILE%.aws\config (Windows)

[default]
region = us-east-1

Set up credentials file in default location:

• ~/.aws/credentials (Linux/Mac)

• %USERPROFILE%.aws\credentials (Windows)

[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET

[another_profile]
aws_access_key_id = ANOTHER_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = ANOTHER_SECRET
region = us-west-1

Installation

Using pip

The recommended installation method is using pip:

python -m pip install robotframework-dynamodbsqllibrary

The main benefit of using pip is that it automatically installs all dependencies needed by the library. Other nice features are easy upgrading and support for un-installation:

python -m pip install --upgrade robotframework-dynamodbsqllibrary
python -m pip uninstall robotframework-dynamodbsqllibrary

Notice that using --upgrade above updates both the library and all its dependencies to the latest version. If you want, you can also install a specific version or upgrade only the dql package used by the library:

python -m pip install robotframework-dynamodbsqllibrary==x.x.x
python -m pip install --upgrade dql
python -m pip install dql==x.x.x

Proxy configuration

If you are behind a proxy, you can use --proxy command line option or set http_proxy and/or https_proxy environment variables to configure pip to use it. If you are behind an authenticating NTLM proxy, you may want to consider installing CNTML to handle communicating with it.

For more information about --proxy option and using pip with proxies in general see:

• https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip/#cmdoption-proxy

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9698557/how-to-use-pip-on-windows-behind-an-authenticating-proxy

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14149422/using-pip-behind-a-proxy

Manual installation

If you do not have network connection or cannot make proxy to work, you need to resort to manual installation. This requires installing both the library and its dependencies yourself.

• Make sure you have Robot Framework installed.

• Download source distributions (*.tar.gz) for the library and its dependencies:

  • https://pypi.python.org/pypi/robotframework-dynamodbsqllibrary

  • https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dql

• Download PGP signatures (*.tar.gz.asc) for signed packages.

• Find each public key used to sign the package:

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --search-keys D1406DE7

• Select the number from the list to import the public key

• Verify the package against its PGP signature:

gpg --verify robotframework-dynamodbsqllibrary-x.x.x.tar.gz.asc robotframework-dynamodbsqllibrary-x.x.x.tar.gz

• Extract each source distribution to a temporary location.

• Go to each created directory from the command line and install each project using:

python setup.py install

If you are on Windows, and there are Windows installers available for certain projects, you can use them instead of source distributions. Just download 32bit or 64bit installer depending on your system, double-click it, and follow the instructions.
