The exception was caused by invoking function with empty input. Looking at your command, it seems that it is incorrect - you passed -data instead of --data. I guess that cURL ignored the incorrect option, leading to invoking the function with no input. If fixing the command doesn't fix the issue, please reopen the ticket with more detailed information - I will be happy to help.

In the future, we will implement input sanitization (#118) and the perf-cost experiment for local benchmarks (#119). This will help since users will not have to write invocations manually. Unfortunately, the local environment was developed originally as a testing ground, and thus it only has partial capabilities needed for a full experiment.

In the meantime, I would recommend writing a simple script to start function containers, invoke them as needed for your experiments, and then shut down containers. You can use the sample inputs provided in the output JSON (all modern programming languages have capabilities for loading and parsing a JSON file). If you use Python, you can import the input.py file directly from the benchmark directory and call the input generation function. Both options will help you since you will make invocations automatic and faster to conduct in series, and will help you to avoid incorrect invocations and errors caused by copy-pasting commands :-)
