Increasing the testability of policies is great they can be quite a hassle normally

microscopic-dress-1605 · Answer

No it does not produce `aws iam PolicyDocument` But it is an interesting take

microscopic-dress-1605 · Answer

Indeed testing policies is a hassle That s the reason I implemented that module It allows me to unit test a single policy statement

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Good stuff aws iam PolicyDocument is good for simplifying the creating of policies but it doesn t really change how testable they are

microscopic-dress-1605 · Answer

Well I first implemented that `aws iam policy` package Then found out about `aws iam getPolicyDocument` Rewrote everything using `getPolicyDocument` To then find out you have to mock that function to be able to unit test That was disappointing I think it was you < little cartoon 10569> who told me but you can just assign plain JSON for your policy documents you don t need `getPolicyDocument` That s when I decided to let go on `getPolicyDocument` and go back to my `aws iam policy` package

I got around the Outputs using `apply` while building up the Policy document
