SQSEvent.getRecords() returns null for my Lambda's RequestHandler

[bnegrao]

Description

I used the mn cli to help me creating a simple lambda to be triggered by SQS. I changed the generated code to make it receive SQSEvent instead of the API Gateway request.

After building the navite image and uploading it to AWS, when I trigger the lambda using a "SQSEvent" json, the lambda throws exception. I added some debugging code and I noticed that the SQSEvent.getRecords() method is returning null. It looks like some deserialization issue is happening.

It looks like this guy on stackoverflow had the same issue and he created a workaround to solve it. But I'm not satisfied with his solution.

Steps to reproduce

Created a simple lambda with this command:

mn create-function-app com.perch.micronaut-lambda-sqs \
    --features=aws-lambda,graalvm \
    --build=gradle --lang=java

Update the FunctionRequestHandler to make it receive an SQSEvent instead of API Gateway event.

package com.perch;

import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.events.SQSEvent;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import io.micronaut.function.aws.MicronautRequestHandler;
import jakarta.inject.Inject;
public class FunctionRequestHandler extends MicronautRequestHandler<SQSEvent, Void> {
    @Inject
    ObjectMapper objectMapper;

    @Override
    public Void execute(SQSEvent sqsEvent) {
        if (sqsEvent == null){
            throw new RuntimeException("sqsEvent cannot be null");
        }
        System.out.println(sqsEvent);
        if (sqsEvent.getRecords() == null) {
            throw new RuntimeException("getRecords() cannot return null");
        }
        if (sqsEvent.getRecords().isEmpty()){
            throw new RuntimeException("getRecords() cannot return an empty list");
        }
        for (SQSEvent.SQSMessage sqsMessage: sqsEvent.getRecords()){
            System.out.println(sqsMessage);
        }
        return null;
    }
}

I created a template.yml file to be able to invoke locally with aws's "sam cli", and I receive the following error (the same that happens if I deploy the code to AWS):

$ sam.cmd local invoke -e events/NewUserSqsMessage.json

}

Example that reproduces the problem uploaded to Github

Expected Behaviour

I would be able to iterate and print the records (List<SQSEvent.SQSMessage>) from the event.

Actual Behaviour

sqsEvent.getRecords() returns null instead of returning a list with one element.

Is there any update on this issue? We faced the same with DynamodbEvent when processing events from a DynamoDb stream, but this issue occured only after the upgrade to Micronaut 4
