String input type raises: Failed to parse input. io.circe.DecodingFailure$$anon$2: String

[bneijt]

The HelloWorld example from https://carpe.github.io/scalambda/docs/writing-functions/ seems to suggest that you can have a plain string as input type for handleRequest. However, when I try that, I get: Failed to parse input. io.circe.DecodingFailure$$anon$2: String.

Reading at

scalambda/core/src/main/scala/io/carpe/scalambda/Scalambda.scala

Line 40 in 3f52f10

decodeAccumulating[I](inputString).fold(

seems to suggest that it will always try to decode the incoming string, which would make the HelloWorld example impossible?

That's odd... You should actually be able to have the function take in a string as in input just fine.

Are you sure you provided a valid string to the function when you invoked it?
