service_path
- / required
The path to the root of the Serverless Service to be operated on.
stage

verbose
-
added in 2.7
Default:

Notes

Note

  • Currently, the serverless command must be in the path of the node executing the task. In the future this may be a flag.

Examples

# Basic deploy of a service
- serverless:
    service_path: '{{ project_dir }}'
    state: present

# Deploy specific functions
- serverless:
    service_path: '{{ project_dir }}'
    functions:
      - my_func_one
      - my_func_two

# deploy a project, then pull its resource list back into Ansible
- serverless:
    stage: dev
    region: us-east-1
    service_path: '{{ project_dir }}'
  register: sls
# The cloudformation stack is always named the same as the full service, so the
# cloudformation_facts module can get a full list of the stack resources, as
# well as stack events and outputs
- cloudformation_facts:
    region: us-east-1
    stack_name: '{{ sls.service_name }}'
    stack_resources: true

# Deploy a project but use a locally installed serverless binary instead of the global serverless binary
- serverless:
    stage: dev
    region: us-east-1
    service_path: '{{ project_dir }}'
    serverless_bin_path: node_modules/.bin/serverless
