Automated test cases for AWS using aws-sdk-mock

Question

I am trying to test the automation of tagging and untagging of resources in AWS. This is very easy to do with the apis but i want to be able to do the same with aws-sdk-mock but i am having trouble understanding the documentation of aws-sdk-mock as to how this would work.

I have the following code in which i am trying to assign a tag with key = 'ABC:DEF' and value = 'v1:TestLambda:dev:web:Test:None' to sample rds instance named 'sample-instance'

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const AWSMock = require('aws-sdk-mock');   
var rdsparams = {
    ResourceName: 'arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:{account-id}:db:sample-instance', 
    /* required */
    Tags: [ /* required */
    {
        Key: 'ABC:DEF',
        Value: 'v1:TestLambda:dev:web:Test:None'
    },
    /* more items */
    ]
};

AWSMock.mock('RDS', 'addTagsToResource', function (params, callback){
        callback(null, "successfully added tag to resource");
      });

I would like to assign the tag to the rds instance. Is this the correct way of doing this because i get no output on the command line?

no errors but i am not getting any output. How can i check if tags were successfully added to RDS? — Abdullah Farooq, Apr 23 '19 at 12:58
Try this line `AWSMock.setSDKInstance(AWS)` in your code before mocking resources. — Atul Kumar, Apr 24 '19 at 05:02
That helped. Thanks. Do you know how to do a listTagsForResource using AWSMock and only listing tags if they were added previously using addTagsToResource? If they were not added or the ResourceName is different then test should not pass? — Abdullah Farooq, Apr 25 '19 at 18:07
This is mocking of resources, so mock the behavior you want to test. — Atul Kumar, May 02 '19 at 06:52
