Redirects not working for local function execution

I’m trying to get redirects to work with a local function. I have a simple redirect rule in my netlify.toml file:

[[redirects]]
  from = "/api/v1/:splat"
  to = "/.netlify/functions/main/"
  status = 200
  force = true

And a main function that was generated by the netlify functions:create command:

const handler = async (event) => {
  try {
    const subject = event.queryStringParameters.name || 'World'
    return {
      statusCode: 200,
      body: JSON.stringify({ message: `Hello ${subject}` }),
    }
  } catch (error) {
    return { statusCode: 500, body: error.toString() }
  }
}

module.exports = { handler }

When I run deploy the function, life is good!

curl -sL https://classy-cajeta-1f14a7.netlify.app/api/v1/test | jq
{
  "message": "Hello World"
}

But locally, I’m having trouble. Hitting the function ignoring the redirect is fine. I start the server with netlify functions:serve --debug --port 8080:

curl -sL http://localhost:8080/.netlify/functions/main/test | jq
{
  "message": "Hello World"
}

But trying the redirect doesn’t work:

curl -sL http://localhost:8080/api/v1/test     
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Error</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>Cannot GET /api/v1/test</pre>
</body>
</html>

Any tips? I do recall that the redirects should work locally but maybe I’m daydreaming. Repo is here:

Thanks!

functions:serve doesn’t use your redirects. Simply run netlify dev.

Amazing! thanks, this works perfectly
