03/19/2019, 12:51 PMHow would you “test” the result of creating infrastructure?

03/19/2019, 12:57 PMI have complex logic that creates resources based on various factors, initial I want to ensure that, giving a certain input, specific resources are created

03/19/2019, 1:10 PMhmm, interesting question 🙂 this is similar to mock DBs and equivalent in TDD development world.
It should be possible to have a mock provider that recorded the resource creation process and be able to compare the results.
Not sure that exists though (yet).

03/20/2019, 4:19 AMI think they are both very good questions 😄
From a testing perspective, because of the resource dependencies, I can see a number of possibilities:
1. A more detailed “pulumi preview” that shows the dependency graph and the pre-execution resolved inputs/outputs.
2. A possible “mock” provider that would provide consistent responses as if the resource creation had been invoked and a fully resolved dependency graph.
