Testing

Local Kinesis Server

The tests require a local Kinesis server such as Kinesalite to be running and reachable at http://127.0.0.1:4567.

To make the tests complete faster, you might want to have Kinesalite perform stream creation and deletion faster than the default of 500ms, like so:

kinesalite --createStreamMs 5 --deleteStreamMs 5 &

The & runs Kinesalite in the background, which is probably what you want.

go test

Some of the tests are marked as safe to be run in parallel, so to speed up test execution you might want to run go test with the -parallel n flag.
