Morning! Is it possible to pass a Cognito user when I run

sst start

, so it will use this user when executing my queries in the console. Like when using

serverless.yml

you can set a specific user in an env variable. Also, I have a infra stack that create my Cognito userPool, roles, etc. How can I pass it to my APIs when creating them? I've tried something like this. but so far got no success 😕

const api = new sst.Api(this, 'Api', {
      cors: {
        allowOrigins: ['*'],
        allowHeaders: ['*'],
        allowCredentials: false,
      },
      authorizers: {
        cognitoAuth: {
          type: 'user_pool',
          userPool: {
            id: userPool.id,
            clientIds: [userPool.clientId],
          },
        },
      },
      defaults: {
        function: {
          timeout: 20,
          environment: {
            logging: process.env.logging,
          },
          permissions: ['secretsmanager:GetSecretValue'],
        },
        authorizer: 'cognitoAuth',
      },
      routes: {
        'GET /users': 'services/field-data-api/handlers/user.get',
      },
    });

sst start should always run as your AWS user

Maybe it's me who does not understand how this should work. But every time I do a query in the console the

event

is always empty. And since I use

event.requestContext

to check if who is authenticated to get the user, roles, etc. As of now I cannot do it this way. When I am using serverless, it just uses the

SLS_COGNITO_AUTHENTICATION_PROVIDER

variable to do so. I am just trying to find a way to test locally my SST stack, while making sure the old way is also working fine.

when you say query in console what exactly are you doing?

For a reason that I cannot explain, the query in the API explorer does not work for me. When I try to query any API I get a 401 unauthorised. 🤷

Hey @Robert, there seems to be a couple of things going on there. If you want to share ur screen, I can get it to work for u, and answer any questions you might have. Let me know 😄

Hey @Frank! Sure thing if you've got some time I can share my screen anytime. Just let me know, until then I'll keep searching 😄

I can do now.. DMing u a zoom link
