Basic usage: use @mock_aws decorator from moto to mock all AWS services, including those provided by moto-ext.

import boto3 from moto import mock_aws from moto_ext import some_mock # replace with actual mock @mock_aws def test_my_function(): client = boto3.client('sns', region_name='us-east-1') response = client.create_topic(Name='test-topic') assert 'TopicArn' in response

Known issues

breakingmoto-ext is the successor to moto (the original package) for extended AWS mocks. The package name changed from 'moto' to 'moto-ext', but the import path remains 'moto'. Ensure you have installed 'moto-ext' and not just 'moto' to access additional mocks.

fix

Install 'moto-ext' via pip: pip install moto-ext.

affects: <=5.1.33

gotchaDo not import directly from 'moto_ext'. The correct import path is 'moto' (e.g., from moto import mock_aws). moto-ext adds extra mocks to the moto namespace.

fix

Use 'from moto import mock_aws' and all other imports from 'moto'.

affects: >=5.0

deprecatedThe old package name 'moto' is deprecated. Starting from version 5.0, the package has been renamed to 'moto-ext'. Install 'moto-ext' to get updates.

fix

Replace 'pip install moto' with 'pip install moto-ext'.

affects: >=5.0
