Package Exports

ask-sdk-test
ask-sdk-test/lib/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (ask-sdk-test) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Alexa Skill Test Framework

This framework makes it easy to create full-coverage black box tests for an Alexa skill using Mocha.

Here's an example of what a test might look like with the test framework.

import {AlexaTest, IntentRequestBuilder, LaunchRequestBuilder, SkillSettings} from 'ask-sdk-test';
import {handler as skillHandler} from './helloworld';

// initialize the testing framework
const skillSettings : SkillSettings = {
    appId: 'amzn1.ask.skill.00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',
    userId: 'amzn1.ask.account.VOID',
    deviceId: 'amzn1.ask.device.VOID',
    locale: 'en-US',
};

const alexaTest = new AlexaTest(skillHandler, skillSettings);

describe('LaunchRequest', () => {
    alexaTest.test([
        {
            request: new LaunchRequestBuilder(skillSettings).build(),
            says: 'Welcome to the Alexa Skills Kit, you can say hello!',
            repromptsNothing: true,
            shouldEndSession: true,
        },
    ]);
});

How To

Install the package as a dev dependency with npm install ask-sdk-test --save-dev.

Write tests in a Typescript file and run them with Mocha. For example, if your test is at 'test/skill.spec.ts', run mocha --require node_modules/ts-node/register/index.js test/skill.spec.ts.

For some simple examples, see the 'examples' directory.

History

This framework is based on the alexa-skill-test-framework by Brian MacIntosh and rewritten for Typescript and the ASK SDK v2.
