Incompatible conversion from Pub/Sub emulator to CloudEvent for CloudEventsFunction #375

@campbellatslang

Description

@campbellatslang

In invoker/core/src/main/java/com/google/cloud/functions/invoker/Event.java, the conditional check for messages originating from the Pub/Sub emulator strips the name field, which is incompatible with this repository's conversion from legacy events to CloudEvent, throwing an exception when calling Resource.from because Resource.name is not nullable. This makes use of CloudEventFunction incompatible with a Pub/Sub emulator setup for local development.

This issue does not affect BackgroundFunction as Resource.from is not called when servicing legacy events without conversion.
