serverless-step-functions-local-docker

Run AWS step functions offline with Serverless!

This is a plugin for the Serverless Framework. It uses stepfunctions-localhost to emulate step functions with AWS' provided tool for local development. Alternatively you can run your own emulator such as aws-stepfunctions-local docker container.

Requirements

Install

npm install serverless-step-functions-local-docker -D

Getting Started

You'll need to add this plugin to your serverless.yml. The plugins section should look something like this when you're done:

plugins:
  ...
  - serverless-step-functions
  - serverless-step-functions-local-docker
  - serverless-offline
  ...

Then, add a new section to config with accountId and region parameters:

custom:
  stepFunctionsLocal:
    accountId: 101010101010
    region: us-east-1

Although not neccessary, it's strongly recomended to add the folder with the downloaded step function executables to .gitignore. By default, this path is ./.step-functions-local.

If you decide to start the emulator automatically through startStepFunctionsLocalApp: true the plugin binds to port 8083, this cannot be changed.

It also adds an environment variable for each created state machine that contains the ARN for it. These variables are prefixed by OFFLINE_STEP_FUNCTIONS_ARN_, so the ARN of a state machine named 'WaitMachine', for example could be fetched by reading OFFLINE_STEP_FUNCTIONS_ARN_WaitMachine.

Options

(These go under custom.stepFunctionsLocal.)

  • accountId (required) your AWS account ID
  • region (required) your AWS region
  • lambdaEndpoint (defaults to http://localhost:4000) the endpoint for the lambda service
  • path (defaults to ./.step-functions-local) the path to store the downloaded step function executables
  • TaskResourceMapping allows for Resource ARNs to be configured differently for local development
  • startStepFunctionsLocalApp (default: true) starts AWS step function emulator. Set to false if it's running already. It needs to run on port 8083.
  • waitToStart (default: true) waits on startup until AWS step function emulator is detected on port 8083
    • true throws an error and stops serverless if emulator is not detected
    • false emits an error to console and keeps serverless running if emulator is not detected
