If you’re using AWS CDK and Cognito, probably you want to have a test user account. I use one mainly for testing GraphQL queries and mutations in the AppSync console which requires you to provide a userpool username and password.
Here it is, using an AWS CloudFormation Custom Resource:
new CfnUserPoolUser(this, "TestUser", {
userPoolId: this.userPool.userPoolId,
username: TEST_USER_EMAIL,
userAttributes: [
{ name: "email", value: TEST_USER_EMAIL },
{ name: "email_verified", value: "true" },
],
desiredDeliveryMediums: ["EMAIL"],
})
// set test user password
new AwsCustomResource(this, "SetTestUserPassword", {
onCreate: {
service: "CognitoIdentityServiceProvider",
action: "adminSetUserPassword",
parameters: {
UserPoolId: this.userPool.userPoolId,
Username: TEST_USER_EMAIL,
Password: TEST_USER_PASSWORD,
Permanent: true,
},
physicalResourceId: PhysicalResourceId.of("SetTestUserPassword"),
},
policy: AwsCustomResourcePolicy.fromSdkCalls({
resources: AwsCustomResourcePolicy.ANY_RESOURCE,
}),
})
}
