Sample Code

• file: serverless.yml

service: my-service

plugins:
  - serverless-offline

provider:
  runtime: nodejs12.x
  stage: dev
  environment:
    MY_ENV_VAR: ${env:MY_ENV_VAR}

functions:
  hello:
    events:
      - http:
          method: get
          path: hello
    handler: handler.hello

• file: handler.js

'use strict'

const { stringify } = JSON

exports.hello = async function hello() {
  return {
    body: stringify({ foo: 'bar' }),
    statusCode: 200,
  }
}

Expected behavior/code
It should just deal with it

Environment

• serverless version: v1.75.1
• serverless-offline version: v6.5.0
• node.js version: v12.16.1
• OS: macOS 10.15.6

[WinstonN]

I also got this error, as stated in https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline/pull/1047 it was due to an undefined environment variable in serverless.yml
After removing the var, the issue disapeared
