sam local invoke with pre-built image

[hikouki-gumo]

Description

My function uses dependencies from a private Github repository and I have to --mount feature of BuildKit to build Docker image, but SAM does not support BuildKit. Then I have to build image separately first and then define that pre-built image in field ImageUri of template.yaml.

Issue happens when I test on local, SAM must build on fly image to run function -> It can not build image, then can not invoke local.

Is there any way to invoke sam local for this use case? Or SAM does not support that?

Not 100% sure, but try editing the AWS::Serverless::Function resource in your template.yaml:

Remove

Metadata:
  Dockerfile: Dockerfile
  DockerContext: ./functions/<somefunc>

Set you local prebuilt image to

ImageUri: myimage:latest

**update
Sadly you won't be able to run and debug it using vscode/pycharm aws toolkit, without the metadata section.

Do you mind providing a sample image function any step to reproduce?
