This commit puts AST validation on the execution path. This means updates get
validated prior to being executed. There were quite a few tests that were not
working against Amazon DDB. These tests I considered broken and as such this
commit adapts them such that they pass against Amazon DDB.
test_update_item_on_map()
=> One of the SET actions would try to set a nested element by specifying the nesting on the path
rather than by putting a map as a value for a non-existent key. This got changed.
test_item_size_is_under_400KB
=> Used the keyword "item" which DDB doesn't like. Change to cont in order to keep the same sizings.
=> Secondly the size error messages differs a bit depending whether it is part of the update or part
of a put_item. For an update it should be:
Item size to update has exceeded the maximum allowed size
otherwise it is
Item size has exceeded the maximum allowed size'
test_remove_top_level_attribute
=> Used a keyword item. Use ExpressionAttributeNames
test_update_item_double_nested_remove
=> Used keywords name & first. Migrated to non-deprecated API and use ExpressionAttributeNames

=> Were broken tests which had string literal instead of value placeholder
Part of structured approach for UpdateExpressions:
1) Expression gets parsed into a tokenlist (tokenized)
2) Tokenlist get transformed to expression tree (AST)
3) The AST gets validated (full semantic correctness) -> this commit
4) AST gets processed to perform the update
This commit uses the AST to perform validation. Validation makes sure the
nodes encounterd have valid values and they will also resolve values for
references that refer to item state or values passed into the expression.
Part of structured approach for UpdateExpressions:
1) Expression gets parsed into a tokenlist (tokenized)
2) Tokenlist get transformed to expression tree (AST) -> This commit
3) The AST gets validated (full semantic correctness)
4) AST gets processed to perform the update
This commit uses the tokenlist to build an expression tree. This tree is not
yet used. Still it allows to raise additional Validation Exceptions which
previously were missed silently therefore it allows tests to catch these type of
ValidationException. For that reason DDB UpdateExpressions will be parsed
already. It also makes sure we won't break existing tests.
One of the existing tests had to be changed in order to still pass:
- test_dynamodb_table_with_range_key.test_update_item_with_expression
This test passed in a numeric literal which is not supported by DynamoDB
and with the current tokenization it would get the same error as in AWS
DynamoDB.
Currently the mock for DynamoDB has adhoc code to implement
its updateExpression functionality. This series will
transform the logic such that Update Expressions are processed
as follows:
1) Expression gets parsed into a tokenlist (tokenized) -> This commit
2) Tokenlist get transformed to expression tree (AST)
3) The AST gets validated (full semantic correctness)
4) AST gets processed to perform the update
This alows for a more realistic mocking. It will throw exceptions much
more aggressively avoiding situations where a test passes against the
mock but fails with an exception when running against AWS.
Introduction of step 3 also allows to have the update expression as an
atomic unit of work. So updates at the start of the expression cannot
be performed if there is an error further down the expression.
This specific commit will tokenize expressions but the tokenlist is not
yet used. It is purely to keep clear boundaries. It does do a minor
refactoring of the exceptions to allow more re-use and to ease testing.
This series of changes is to aid providing a long-term solution for
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/2806.
h/t @beheh. This patch handles the case when ProjectionExpression looks
like "#1, ..., #10" - the previous code used `replace`, which would make
the resulting projection into "foo, ..., foo0".
