Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this thing called SAM, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. I wanted to see if I could get this “jaguar” thing working, whatever that even means in the context of SAM. I’m just a regular person and love to follow the newest trends, so I write down every step I did.
First, I installed the SAM CLI. That part was easy enough, followed some online instructions, no biggie. It did things step by step.
The Beginning of Everything.
Then, I thought, “Okay, let’s create something, anything!” I used the sam init command, and I honestly just picked the defaults for most things. I was more interested in seeing if it would even work.
- I ran
sam init. - I chose a “hello world” template. Because, why not? It’s always the starting point, right?
- It created a bunch of files. I didn’t even look at them too closely at first.
Facing Problems.
Next, I wanted to see this thing in action. I typed in sam local invoke, expecting magic. Instead, I got errors. Lots of them. Something about a “jaguar” not being found. I felt like I was in a jungle myself, completely lost.
So, I started digging. I opened the file. Looked confusing, but I spotted something that said “runtime”. It was set to something other than what I thought this “jaguar” needed. Probably.
Make the Changes
I changed the runtime. I honestly just guessed based on some other examples I found online. I’m not even sure if it was the right one, but it felt like progress. I am so smart!
I tried sam local invoke again. Still errors, but different ones! This time, it was complaining about some code inside the “handler” function. I opened the file (or whatever it was called, I can’t remember exactly) and stared at it. I tweaked a few things, mostly just commenting out stuff that looked suspicious.
Finally Get the Result
Fingers crossed, I ran sam local invoke one more time. And… it worked! I saw some output. It wasn’t pretty, and I’m still not entirely sure what it means, but it didn’t throw any errors. I felt like I had tamed the jaguar, even if I didn’t understand it.
So, that’s my “sam jaguar” adventure. It was messy, confusing, and I probably did a lot of things wrong. But hey, I got something working. I will explore it more times!
