on first line you requiere: serverless-offline/dist/lambda/handler-runner/index
but my serverless-offline directory on node_modules does not have a dist/ folder...
do you know how can I fix it? I really need to refresh code on dile watch. regards

@crsepulv
My guess is that it's the version of serverless-offline that you are using.
E.g. The dist folder exists with

"serverless-offline": "6.1.2"

I'm not sure if this covers authorizers. I can't seem to invalidate the cache for my authorizer functions to be able to have hot reloading. Anyone else?

This is a life saver. Great job and thanks!

A note to anyone else using this, this plugin requires that serverless is started with the start option:

$ serverless offline start

otherwise changes are not injected.
