SDK Development

Adding integration test credentials

Running integration tests will hit the deployed lower environment

Test credentials are resolved in the following order:

1. Environment variables

The following environment variables will get loaded as test credentials

SANDBOX_USERNAME="your-username"
SANDBOX_PASSWORD="your-password"

2. Local credentials file

You can also add a local credentials file to the the path "<project_root>/local_creds.json". This file will be gitignored

{
  "username": "your-username",
  "password": "your-password"
}

3. Static (mock) values

The mocked values are used for unit tests via 'nock'.

The test credentials helper can be found here https://github.com/avadev/AvaTax-REST-V2-JS-SDK/blob/master/test/helpers/load_creds.js
