Point lambda aws:asset:path to source code instead of .cdk.staging

[Gaafar]

Not sure if there is a way to do this now, but when I try invoking lambda function with SAM: sam local it points to the lamda directory inside .cdk.staging dir, instead of the source code directory.

So when I change the source code SAM doesn't run the latest version on disk. I tried changing aws:asset:path: manually in the template file and it works, but maybe there should be a better way to do it instead of manual update.

You should be able to run cdk synth --no-staging to disable asset staging, in which case assets will be referenced from their original location.

Can you try and let us know if this works?

Yes, that fixes it. I created a small PR to mention it in CLI docs
