Invoking aws lambda without output file

Question

I'm trying to invoke a lambda on AWS using CLI:

aws lambda invoke --function-name GetErrorLambda --payload '{"body":"{\"Id\":[\"321\",\"123\"]}"}' \output.

I would like to know if there's a way to print the output on the cli instead of creating a file.

Answer 1

There is no way to print the output of a Lambda function directly onto the terminal. A simple workaround for this would be adding the “cat” command in the cli command:

aws lambda invoke --function-name GetErrorLambda --payload '{"body":"{\"Id\":[\"321\",\"123\"]}"}' \output. && cat outputFileName.txt
