jcabi-dynamodb-maven-plugin – Create Tables Before Integration Tests

Create Tables Before Integration Tests

In most cases you will need tables pre-created in DynamoDB Local, which your integration tests will use. You can use create-tables goal:

<plugin>
  <groupId>com.jcabi</groupId>
  <artifactId>jcabi-dynamodb-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>0.10.1</version>
  <configuration>
    <tables>
      <table>${basedir}/first.json</table>
      <table>${basedir}/second.json</table>
    </tables>
  </configuration>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>start</goal>
        <goal>create-tables</goal>
        <goal>stop</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

    }

    }
