Mocking S3 in Node.js using Sinon

index.js

var Aws = require('aws-sdk');
var sinon = require('sinon');

// Only works for 'createBucket', 'update' and a few others since most API methods are generated dynamically
// upon instantiation. Very counterintuitive, thanks Amazon!
var createBucket = sinon.stub(Aws.S3.prototype, 'createBucket');
createBucket.yields(null, 'Me create bucket');

// For other methods, we can 'assign' the stubs to the proto, already defined function won't be overridden
var listBuckets = Aws.S3.prototype.listBuckets = sinon.stub();
listBuckets.yields(null, 'Me list buckets');

var s3 = new Aws.S3();
s3.createBucket({Bucket: 'my-bucket'}, function(err, arg1) {
    console.log(arg1);
});
s3.listBuckets(function(err, arg1) {
    console.log(arg1);
});

console.log('Called #createBucket() ' + s3.createBucket.callCount + ' time(s)');
console.log('Called #listBuckets() ' + s3.listBuckets.callCount + ' time(s)');

Nice. Great example. It works me for listObjectsV2 also. I think it will support all.

Hi, Can you please share you code for mocking listObjectsV2?

Thank you @joerx 😄

thanks a lot

how to create such stub for s3.upload and how to restore them ?

const putObjectStub = AWS.S3.prototype.putObject = sinon.stub();
putObjectStub.yields(null, 'data');

const uplaodStub = (AWS.S3.prototype.upload= sinon.stub());
uplaod.yields(null, 'data');

Thanks
