issue with trying to get it working on lambda

[ashleybeshir]

Hello,

love this project as their isnt a alternative for git for python on lambdas.
subprocess.call(["pip","install","lambda-git"]) this is used to install the module but when i try to import afterwards i get this error.

"errorMessage": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/task/vendor/git-2.4.3.tar'"

am i missing something ?

@ashleybeshir thanks for opening an issue. are you trying to run that subprocess.call(["pip","install","lambda-git"]) in your lambda? can you give me more context?
i suggest you use something like http://apex.run or https://serverless.com you should have your dependencies as part of your lambda and not installing them at runtime

Hi ered93,

I am trying to use your module and I am getting the same error. I used pip install to install dependencies in a folder together with my own code, zipped the folder, and uploaded it to Lambda, like I always do.

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/task/vendor/git-2.4.3.tar'

@mrthefastfender can you share your lambda code?
i'm using it with Apex and it works. unfortunately loading dependencies in lambda is a bit tricky due to the restricted permissions.
If you @mrthefastfender and @ashleybeshir could share a bit more info i could try to debug it.
if you could share a zip file of the lambda throwing that error i could check why is throwing that error

The problem was, that the git binary was not included in the folder. I found a different solution using boto3 since I was trying to use CodeCommit.

I'm going to close this issue as i'm unable to reproduce the error. Once I have clear steps i can follow i'll reopen it.
@ashleybeshir how can you run subprocess.call(["pip","install","lambda-git"]) when AWS Lambda doesn't let you call pip? 😕

@ashleybeshir I just resolved the same issue. As mrthefastfender pointed out, the vendor folder isn't included in the pip install. I downloaded the git-2.4.3.tar file directly and included it in my lambda package. https://github.com/eredi93/lambda-git/blob/master/vendor/git-2.4.3.tar.

@eredi93 can you update the Python package so that when we run pip install lambda-git, it will include the vendor folder with required binary? Thanks.

thanks @arsalazarjr !! i found the issue.
