I am using CreateJobCommandInput, CreateJobCommand, MediaConvertClient from @aws-sdk/client-mediaconvert to submit MediaConvert job. CreateJobCommandInput contains a lot of different parameters. I would like to check if those parameters are valid using some sort of unit tests. Is this possible?

CodePudding user response：

Thanks for your message. AWS MediaConvert validates job settings upon submittal. Unit testing (individual feature testing) is not supported today.

However, you can save a collection of validated output settings as an output preset which can be re-used and stacked (combined) on future jobs. You can test, validate and accumulate collections of output settings in this way.

Additional tips: [a] when testing settings, you can use the 'input clipping' function to convert just 30s of content for a quicker result on your tests.

[b] All 'create job' calls will have an API log record which you can retrieve via AWS CloudTrail. Jobs which execute will also get a log entry in AWS CloudWatch.

[c] Fronting your S3 destination bucket with a CloudFront distribution will allow you to stream/access your outputs without making the S3 bucket itself public-readable. You can optionally restrict access to the CF distribution in various ways using AWS Web Application Firewall.

You can see the full specification for all available parameters using a command of the form 'aws mediaconvert create-job --generate-cli-skeleton'
