Hi  
I’m still playing with the Serverless framework, to see what it’s able to do.

I created a project with the CLI, for the Google Cloud Platform.  
It comes with a simple function named _first_ .  
I was able to deploy it to the Cloud Platform, and able to invoke it with the command:  
`serverless invoke --function first`

But when I tried to invoke it local, with the command:  
`serverless invoke local -f first`

It returns nothing:

I’m following the Docs here: [link](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/google/cli-reference/invoke-local/)

Is it because it’s a http request?

There’s another example of a function that could work local, just to test?

@rafaextradev Did you ever resolve this? I’m just starting with Google Cloud Platform and encountering the same problem.

Me too. I can `invoke` but not `invoke local` (returns nothing).
