Using AWS CodeBuild or Lambda to run jasmine tests before deployment

Question

Folks, Have been trying to figure out the correct way to fire of a CodeBuild project which either produces the artifact after compiling and running jasmine tests, or fails and stops the CodePipeline from proceeding with deployment.

If my buildspec.yml looks like:

version: 0.1

phases:
  install:
    commands:
      - echo Installing... Running npm install
      - npm install
  pre_build:
    commands:
      - echo pre_build...
  build:
    commands:
      - echo Testing... Running npm test
      - npm test
  post_build:
    commands:
      - echo Build completed on `date`
artifacts:
  files:
    - '**/*'

How should I fail out of the npm test phase? If any of the jasmine tests fail during npm test, will the artifact still be produced?

Another thought I have is to have the following occur if any of the tests fail:

    var params = {
        jobId: jobId,
        failureDetails: {
            message: JSON.stringify(message),
            type: 'JobFailed',
            externalExecutionId: context.invokeid
        }
    };
    codepipeline.putJobFailureResult(params, function(err, data) {
        ...
    });

or send a stop signal to CodeBuild?

var params = {
  id: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
codebuild.stopBuild(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Or how do I terminate the build to not produce the artifact? Maybe I got this wrong, and it should be a Lambda function that kicks off the unit tests. I am not sure if Lambda is ideal for this, as I can imagine some services take a while to finish the unit tests

Thanks!

In case anyone stumbles upon this, both ways will work. AWS CodeBuild will fail on any non-zero exit status code. Thus, any tests that fail will cause the pipeline to fail.

Same can be done with lambda
