  "name": "test",
  "data": {
    "key": "value",
    "number": 123
  }
}

Local Debugging Tools​

In addition to the visual testing feature, you can also use the command-line tool scf-cli for local debugging:

# Install scf-cli
npm install -g scf-cli

# Local Debugging Function
scf local invoke --template template.yaml --event event.json

WeChat Developer Tools Testing​

In the WeChat Developer Tools, you can directly test cloud functions.

Test Steps​

  1. In the console's corresponding cloud function management panel, click 'Cloud Test' to open the test pop-up.
  2. Configure test parameters
  3. Click 'Execute' to run the test
  4. View the execution result
