Hi there,

I created a sample Hello World function with following python code -

import json

print('Loading function')


def lambda_handler(event, context):
    #print("Received event: " + json.dumps(event, indent=2))
    print("value1 = " + event['key1'])
    print("value2 = " + event['key2'])
    print("value3 = " + event['key3'])
    return event['key1']  # Echo back the first key value
    #raise Exception('Something went wrong')

It works fine when I try to test it from the console. However, when I try to invoke it using AWS CLI it gives me the following error -

aws lambda invoke --function-name Hello-world --payload '{ \"key1\": \"Bob\" }' response.json
usage: aws [options] <command> <subcommand> [<subcommand> ...] [parameters]
To see help text, you can run:

  aws help
  aws <command> help
  aws <command> <subcommand> help

Unknown options: }', response.json, "Bob"

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks

PS: I have even tried the cli command with non escaped json i.e { "key1": "Bob" }
