TestType - Amazon CloudFormation
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

TestType

Tests a registered extension to make sure it meets all necessary requirements for being published in the CloudFormation registry.

  • For resource types, this includes passing all contracts tests defined for the type.

  • For modules, this includes determining if the module's model meets all necessary requirements.

For more information, see Testing your public extension before publishing in the Amazon CloudFormation Command Line Interface (CLI) User Guide.

If you don't specify a version, CloudFormation uses the default version of the extension in your account and Region for testing.

To perform testing, CloudFormation assumes the execution role specified when the type was registered. For more information, see RegisterType.

Once you've initiated testing on an extension using TestType, you can pass the returned TypeVersionArn into DescribeType to monitor the current test status and test status description for the extension.

An extension must have a test status of PASSED before it can be published. For more information, see Publishing extensions to make them available for public use in the Amazon CloudFormation Command Line Interface (CLI) User Guide.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

LogDeliveryBucket

The S3 bucket to which CloudFormation delivers the contract test execution logs.

CloudFormation delivers the logs by the time contract testing has completed and the extension has been assigned a test type status of PASSED or FAILED.

The user calling TestType must be able to access items in the specified S3 bucket. Specifically, the user needs the following permissions:

  • GetObject
