Any work-around for async lambda handlers ? #4

Closed stall84 closed 3 years ago

stall84 commented 3 years ago

I'm having a lot of trouble getting a lambda as simple as module.exports.handler = async (event) => { const obj = { key: 'value' } return obj; } I also can't get a callback handler to work with anything in the 2nd argument module.exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => { const num = 3 callback(null, { number: num }) }

In both above cases when trying to execute a 2nd task lambda (or any other state for that matter), the step function never exits the first task. It will do any functions called within the lambda, like console logging . . But as soon as I try to return anything from an async or add a 2nd argument to a sync callback .. it never moves to the next state

What am I doing wrong ?

Just for some more context I made this post on SO with better code snippets and yaml and all https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68228019/offline-local-step-function-task-lambda-not-returning-its-output-and-freezes-st

To be completely honest, I have no clue. It's been a few years since I used this package and while it should still work I haven't been dogfeeding it myself at all.

Would either of these alternative packages work?

If so, I'll go ahead and deprecate this in favor of those.

Thanks for the reply man .. Oddly enough I was having the exact same problem with the serverless-step-functions-offline package .. then moved over here b/c it seemed to be a bit newer.. but both are 2 and 3 years old respectively now. I'm going through the code of serverless-offline-lambda now (also 2 years old since update) and trying to figure out what exactly is happening at the point that I return something out of the lambda ... but so far still can't figure it out ..

Thanks again !

I'm going to give that sls-stpfncs-offln-async package a try .. Thanks for the help. If you want me to close this I will .. But might be worth leaving it open in case anyone else comes across the issue since you're deprecating it.

SOLUTION Found using the serverless-step-functions-offline-async package.. You have to use a callback inside your async lambda, but it DOES solve the problem.

👍 glad you got it working.
