Hello. I’m writing a lambda function that does not require API gateway, thus i’m not using serverless-offline. If I install serverless-offline, the plugins serverless-dynamodb-local and serverless-s3-local start, but when I only use serverless invoke local, these plugins do not start.

Does anyone know why that may be?

serverless.yml:

```
 provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs8.10

plugins:
  - serverless-plugin-typescript
  - serverless-s3-local
  - serverless-dynamodb-local

functions:
  main:
    handler: src/index.handler
    events:
    - sqs:
        arn: arn:aws:sqs:region:XXXXXX:queue-name
        batchSize: 10

resources:
  Resources:

      Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
      Properties:

    TableName:

      Properties:
        TableName: table-name
        AttributeDefinitions:
        - AttributeName: id
