Tests do not load .env or serverless.yml variables

See original GitHub issue

On newest release when running npm test which runs serverless-bundle test environment variables from serverless.yml

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs10.x
  stage: dev
  region: us-east-1
  environment:
    TEST: "value"

or from .env file

TEST=value

This issue was noticed in the serverless-bundle package and noted by @Vadorequest https://github.com/AnomalyInnovations/serverless-bundle/issues/4

Using his solution I was able to load .env variables by adding the following to the package.json

"jest": {
    "setupFilesAfterEnv": [
      "./jest-preload-env.js"
    ]
  }

jest-preload-env.js

require('dotenv').config({
    path: './.env'
});

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'test') {
    throw Error('Non-test environment');
}

severless-bundle test should load serverless.yml environment variables

Oh good catch. Yeah I’ll have a look at how to do this in the serverless-bundle plugin.
