Running integration tests will hit the deployed lower environmentTest credentials are resolved in the following order:
1. Environment variables
The following environment variables will get loaded as test credentials
bash
SANDBOX_USERNAME="your-username"
SANDBOX_PASSWORD="your-password"
`
2. Local credentials fileYou can also add a local credentials file to the the path "/local_creds.json". This file will be gitignored
json
{
"username": "your-username",
"password": "your-password"
}
`
3. Static (mock) valuesThe mocked values are used for unit tests via 'nock'.
The test credentials helper can be found here
