Testing Supabase Edge Functions Locally

Edge functions work in production but hard to test locally. Need to deploy to test. No local execution environment. Debugging is difficult without local testing.

Supabase CLI provides local development environment for testing functions before pushing to production.

Error Messages You Might See

Function not found locally Cannot connect to local Supabase env variables undefined
Function not found locallyCannot connect to local Supabaseenv variables undefined

Common Causes

  1. Supabase CLI not installed or not logged in
  2. Edge functions not set up for local testing
  3. Wrong function path or env variables not configured
  4. Local environment not started properly
  5. Dependencies not installed for function

How to Fix It

Start local Supabase environment:

supabase start

Test function locally:

curl -X POST http://localhost:54321/functions/v1/my-function \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer " \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"test": true}'
