Ability to disable logevent for test or inject object mapper instance about powertools-lambda-java HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @asmith-r7

I understand the problem you are facing. Perhaps rite now you might have to pass a valid event to make it work.

At this point, I am thinking perhaps we can let users override the default object mapper instance via an environment variable instead of having something to toggle the logging behavior.

So having something like an api defaultObjectMapper which can be used to override default one if needed by clients.

Thoughts?

Hi, thanks for the response. I was able to work around the problem by doing as you suggested. I remember the last time I had looked into creating an S3Event from a json file I had ran into problems but it looks like since then a testing library was released and it solves the problem 🎉 :
https://github.com/aws/aws-lambda-java-libs/tree/master/aws-lambda-java-tests

The only disadvantage to this approach was using a mock made it really easy to dynamically change the keys etc in the event being passed in but that library seems to rely on supplying a JSON file each time.

I still could see exposing the object mapper being a good idea though.

Great to hear that you got it working now with valid event object. In a way its good to unit test things with a valid event object to avoid getting surprises in staging or production environment. But, I do understand mocks can be convenient for iterating faster.

I will leave this issue open for now and probably expose an api to let clients override object mapper as well which can probably compliment RFC #66 as well.
