How to obtain working template from CloudFormation Management Console?

I am working to extend this solution https://github.com/adieuadieu/serverless-chrome to my needs.

I am using serverless (on my laptop with Debian 9) to deploy it to AWS Lambda. I would like to use AWS-Sam-local https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sam-local to run it locally for developing.

I would like to use AWS-Sam-local because I believe that there is difference between running this solution via serverless webpack serve --function run and sam local start-api. The difference I think, is event object which I want to make contain POST or binary data (multipart files transfer). For that I have to allow binary transfer via API Gateway. But correct me if I am wrong because I am totally green in the AWS and Serverless field and this is my first time with this technologies.

The problem I get is aws-sam-local needs the CloudFormation template to know how to run serverless-chrome project. If I make deploy to AWS and go to CloudFormation Console I can copy that template after selecting it in "Stacks" table and clicking "Template" tab. Then I use cfn-flip to convert JSON into YAML. In the end I got template.yml, but running sam local start-api gives me error:

2017/10/06 11:03:23 Connected to Docker 1.32
ERROR: No Serverless functions were found in your SAM template.

Please tell me what to do to make serverless-chrome run locally as it would run on AWS Lambda.

The templates Serverless uses to deploy are available in two places:

  • Remotely, in the S3 deployment bucket
  • locally, in .serverless/
