Emulator

The emulator is a standalone CLI application that attempts to emulate the target cloud entities locally. Currently only function entity is supported.

To install:

Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/tc-functors/emulator.git
cd emulator
make
./tc-emulator

To emulate a function

Terminal window
cd function-dir
tc-emulator

The following command spins up a docker container with the defined layers in function.yml, sets up the paths, environment variables, AWS access, local code and runtime parameters (mem, handlers etc)

To run it as a shell (bash)

tc-emulator --shell

You can now invoke a payload locally with this emulator

tc invoke --local [--payload <payload.json | json-str>]
