testState

Accepts the definition of a single state and executes it. You can test a state without creating a state machine or updating an existing state machine. Using this API, you can test the following:

• A state's input and output processing data flow

• An Amazon Web Services service integration request and response

• An HTTP Task request and response

You can call this API on only one state at a time. The states that you can test include the following:

• All Task types except Activity

• Pass

• Wait

• Choice

• Succeed

• Fail

The TestState API assumes an IAM role which must contain the required IAM permissions for the resources your state is accessing. For information about the permissions a state might need, see IAM permissions to test a state.

The TestState API can run for up to five minutes. If the execution of a state exceeds this duration, it fails with the States.Timeout error.

TestState doesn't support Activity tasks, .sync or .waitForTaskTokenservice integration patterns, Parallel, or Map states.
