Typescript project getting `Cannot find handler` for local debug configuration

flexelem commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug

I am able configure and debug my Java lambdas successfully, however, I am not able to debug my lambdas written in typescript. When I try to create a debug configuration I get Cannot find handler 'src/lambda/hello-world.handler' in project

To reproduce

Create a new javascript project with npm init
Create sub directory with mkdir -R src/lambda
Create a hello world example file with name hello-world.ts under src/lambda.

A sample code for an REST API;

import { APIGatewayProxyEventV2, APIGatewayProxyHandlerV2, APIGatewayProxyResultV2 } from 'aws-lambda';

export const handler: APIGatewayProxyHandlerV2 = async (event: APIGatewayProxyEventV2) : Promise<APIGatewayProxyResultV2> => {
    console.log(event);
    return {
        statusCode: 200,
    };
};

Expected behavior

Create debug configuration for typescript handler.
