Description
I have a sam nested application with the following template structure:
template.yml
|
|-----LayerTemplate.yml
|-----ApiTemplate.yml
Api has a reference to a AWS::Serverless::LayerVersion resource created in LayerTemplate.yml , done via Output and Parameters reference.
When attempting to run locally, the functions that uses the layer return the following error:
`sam local start-api -t template.yml `
`samcli.commands.local.cli_common.user_exceptions.InvalidLayerVersionArn: SharedLayer is an Invalid Layer Arn.`
Workaround: Do a sam deploy , then get the layer arn and run locally the ApiTemplate.yml using
` sam local start-api -t ApiTemplate.yml --parameter-overrides SharedLayer=arn:aws:lambda:*:1111111:layer:shared:2`
This is not great because it creates a dependency with the AWS Arn.
