Hot reloading not working for go lambdas?

Is it just me or hot-reloading doesn’t work for lambdas written in golang?

cmd

aws-sam-local local start-api

hello/main.go

package main

import (
	"github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/events"
	"github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/lambda"
)

type Response struct {
	Message string `json:"message"`
}

func Handler(request events.APIGatewayProxyRequest) (events.APIGatewayProxyResponse, error) {
	return events.APIGatewayProxyResponse{
		Body:       "Go Serverless v1.0! Your function executed successfully!",
		StatusCode: 200,
	}, nil
}
func main() {
	lambda.Start(Handler)
}

thanks @mijdavis2, I implemented a workaround (in the meantime) for hot reload to work when developing Go lambdas locally - https://github.com/uccmen/serverless-go

@uccmen We do support hot-reloading of each language. The term hot-reloading to us means we will always mount the CodeUri on the next invoke. This allows you to stand up one api locally, and change/build your code outside that process to be reflected on the next invoke.

Closing this as we currently support it, but if we have a misunderstanding please reopen or create a new issue.
