Using NPM:

npm install serverless-step-functions-offline --save-dev

or Yarn:

yarn add serverless-step-functions-offline --dev

Setup

Add the plugin to your serverless.yml:

# serverless.yml 
 
plugins:
  - serverless-step-functions-offline

To verify that the plugin works, run this in your command line:

sls step-functions-offline

It should rise an error like that:

Requirements

This plugin works only with serverless-step-functions.

You must have this plugin installed and correctly specified statemachine definition using Amazon States Language.

Example of statemachine definition you can see here.

Usage

After all steps are done, need to add to section custom in serverless.yml the key stepFunctionsOffline with properties stateName: name of lambda function.

For example:

service: ServerlessStepPlugin
frameworkVersion: ">=1.13.0 <2.0.0"
plugins:
   - serverless-step-functions-offline
 
# ... 
 
custom:
  stepFunctionsOffline:
    FirstLambda: firstLambda #(v2.0) 
    # ... 
    # ... 
    SecondLambda: secondLambda #(v2.0) 
 
functions:
    firstLambda:
        handler: firstLambda/index.handler
        name: TheFirstLambda
    secondLambda:
        handler: secondLambda/index.handler
        name: TheSecondLambda
stepFunctions:
  stateMachines:
    foo:
      definition:
        Comment: "An example of the Amazon States Language using wait states"
        StartAt: FirstLambda
        States:
            FirstLambda:
              Type: Task
              Resource: arn:aws:lambda:eu-west-1:123456789:function:TheFirstLambda
              Next: SecondLambda
            SecondLambda:
              Type: Task
              Resource: arn:aws:lambda:eu-west-1:123456789:function:TheSecondLambda
              End: true

Where:

  • StepOne is the name of step in state machine
  • firstLambda is the name of function in section functions

Run Plugin

sls step-functions-offline --stateMachine={{name}} --event={{path to event file}}
  • name: name of state machine in section state functions. In example above it's foo.
  • event: input values for execution in JSON format (optional)

If you want to know where you are (in offline mode or not) you can use env variable STEP_IS_OFFLINE.

By default process.env.STEP_IS_OFFLINE = true.

    ...
    - serverless-step-functions-offline
    ...
