Is @requires_docker absolutely neccessary? Can we mock lambda without docker?

Hi, I was just wondering if @requires_docker as shown in the above test is absolutely required for mocking the lambda.
I am currently working on client project using an AWS Workspace (running Windows) that doesn't have docker enabled.

I needed to mock a lambda trigger from sqs and I was just wondering if it's possible to test the trigger without docker - i.e. only using sqs and the lambda_handler(event,ctx) function.

Short answer: No, this is not supported.

I do think it's a useful feature though, especially as a follow-up/extension to #5721, so I'll treat this as an enhancement request.

I've created #6987 from this issue - please follow that for any updates.

Hi @rishacha, this is now fixed in the upcoming v5 release.

All service-specific decorators are be replaced with a single @mock_aws decorator. To use the simple Lambda implementation everywhere, you can specify this in the configuration:

@mock_aws(config={"lambda": {"use_docker": False}})
def test():
    ...

See the full release announcement here: #7198

(Edited to clarify that V5 is now released).
