Targeting a specific function when running sls wsgi commands

[dan-bowen]

Hello,

Is it possible to target a specific function when running Flask commands?

I have 2 functions with exactly the same code but different settings.

functions:
  api: # for serving the web requests via API gateway with a low timeout
    handler: wsgi_handler.handler
    events:
      - http: ANY /
      - http: ANY {proxy+}
    timeout: 6
  admin: # for running Flask commands (no API gateway) and a longer timeout
    handler: wsgi_handler.handler
    timeout: 900

It appears that running

sls wsgi flask --command "db upgrade"

is targeting my api function.

The issue I am running into is the short timeout on the api function is causing my longer running Flask commands to fail. It would be great if I could target a specific function like so

sls wsgi flask --function admin --command "db upgrade"

If this is not currently supported I'm happy to investigate making a PR if you could point me in the right direction.

P.S. Thanks for this plugin!

Hi Dan,
Yes, having multiple functions with wsgi_handler.handler as the event handler is currently unsupported. It will basically pick the first function with this handler as the target for invocation.

I think it would make sense to add an extra argument specifying the function target, as you've suggested and I'm happy to accept a PR for this feature.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update. I'll see how far I can get with this over the next few weeks.

Hey @dan-bowen @logandk I'm facing the same problem then I created a PR to solve it.
Can you take a look pls?

@felipeespitalher I think that PR solves a different issue than the one I am facing.

The issue here is having wsgi_handler.handler as the same handler for 2 different functions, and per @logandk comment the code is choosing the first one rather than being able to target a specific function.
