Serverless Packaging, Layers, and AWS Authentication

This repository demonstrates an issue wherein the mere act of packaging (serverless package) requires AWS authentication if a layer is included in serverless.yml.

See the serverless issue at: serverless/serverless#8187

Usage

Install:

$ yarn

Issue Reproduction

Run packaging without any AWS credentials (in environment or otherwise):

$ serverless package

Expected behavior: Serverless creates a package.

Actual behavior: We get an error as follows:

  Serverless Error ---------------------------------------

  AWS provider credentials not found. Learn how to set up AWS provider credentials in our docs here: <http://slss.io/aws-creds-setup>.
