How to retrieve event.json file to unit test lambda

Question

I am able to run AWS lambda using postman. I want to use the event to run unit test along it. I am not sure how I can generate the event.json file.

I tried logging event that I receive in my handleRequest method on cloudwatch logs but it does not seem to be the right one.

you can find the Lambda event structures in the documentation. Here is the list for all the different event types, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-services.html .

In your case I would say the event you are looking for coming from API Gateway, you can find it here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/services-apigateway.html#apigateway-example-event
