[piercus]

Actual

unit test implemented, but function is still empty

Expected

Implement the lib/kvs-parser.js file

Hello @piercus To implement the kvs-parser do we need to use the mock data or actual AWS getMedia() api?

[piercus]

@dharmik-dalwadi-seaflux it depends what "to use" means

Short answer

You will implement aws-sdk usage into lib/kvs-parser.js as default usage But when testing your implementation, you will always call ava test/kvs-parser.js and then test it passing through the mock

Long answer

• The implementation should set the value of this.kinesisvideo and this.kinesisvideomedia by default using the aws sdk (see below)
• in practice when coding, you will never use the aws sdk and you will always test your implementation using ava and the mock reasons are :
  • By doing this you do not need to produce a kvs stream
  • your tests will be reproductible and easier to reproduce
• Once the unit test will seems to work, you can test it with a real produced kvs-stream, but you will do this very rarely, and each time you find a new situation, first thing to do is to create a new unit test before starting the implementation

you should do the following :

const AWS = require('aws-sdk')

// inside the constructor 
this.kinesisvideo = awsInstances.kinesisvideo || new AWS.KinesisVideo();
this.kinesisvideomedia = awsInstances.kinesisvideomedia || new AWS.KinesisVideoMedia();
