How to connect to moto standalone server?

Question

I just installed moto and tried to connect to the standalone server with the following node.js code:

const AWS = require('aws-sdk')
const ep = new AWS.Endpoint('http://127.0.0.1:5000')
const route53 = new AWS.Route53({endpoint: ep})

const params = {}
console.log(route53.listHostedZones(params))

The code sets AWS service's endpoint, which points to the standalone server of moto. And then sends listHostedZones request to the endpoint. The output of this program is

    httpError: [ [Function: ENOTFOUND_ERROR] ] },
emit: [Function: emit] }

As you can see in the above output, there's an ENOTFOUND_ERROR error in it. And I couldn't find any new connection in the console output of moto.

The way I start moto is moto_server route53:

> moto_server route53
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

What's wrong with my configurations? I think there's something wrong with my node.js code. Do I misinterpret the meaning of endpoint?

Answer 1

const AWS = require('aws-sdk')
const ep = new AWS.Endpoint('http://127.0.0.1:5000')
const initParam = {
  endpoint: ep,
  region: 'ap-northeast-1'
}
const route53 = new AWS.Route53(initParam)

let params = {
  CallerReference: 'unique_string_affh38h98hasd8f76a',
  Name: 'www.example.com'
}
route53.createHostedZone(params, (err, data) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(`createHostedZone err: ${err}`)
  } else {
    console.log(`createHostedZone data: ${JSON.stringify(data)}`)
  }
})

I forgot to set region parameter. And the way I view the output of listHostedZones() was wrong. After correcting them, the code works correctly.
