segmentation fault (core dumped)

[jfarr]

Hi, I followed the instructions under Running Locust on AWS Lambda but all I get is this error when I run invokr.py:

[2022-01-05 07:33:57,245] LM-C02C775WMD6R/ERROR/invokust.aws_lambda.lambda_load_test: error Unhandled: b'{"errorMessage":"RequestId: bb804730-df31-47d0-bc5f-ac734d0aa70e Error: Runtime exited with error: signal: segmentation fault (core dumped)","errorType":"Runtime.ExitError"}'

Any pointers what I might be doing wrong? I'm building the Lambda package on MacOS Big Sur using these commands:

docker run -it --volume=$PWD:/temp python:3.6 bash -c "pip install /temp --target=/temp/python-packages"
zip -q -r lambda_locust.zip lambda_locust.py locustfile_example.py python-packages
aws lambda create-function --function-name lambda_locust --timeout 300 --runtime python3.6 --role arn:aws:iam::XXXXXX --handler lambda_locust.handler --zip-file fileb://lambda_locust.zip

FYI after trying many different configurations the only way I could get this to work was as a Lambda container image. Here's the Dockerfile I used for reference:

FROM lambci/lambda:build-python3.6 AS lambda-build

RUN pip install invokust --target /temp/python-packages
COPY lambda_locust.py locustfile.py /temp/python-packages/

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.6

COPY --from=lambda-build /temp/python-packages "${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}"

CMD [ "lambda_locust.handler" ]

Then you have push the image to an ECR repository and create the lambda function with:

aws lambda create-function\
   --function-name lambda_locust\
   --package-type Image\
   --code ImageUri=9999999999.dkr.ecr.region-name.amazonaws.com/lambda_locust:latest\
   --role arn:aws:iam::9999999999:role/lambda_basic_execution\
   --timeout 300

That's annoying!

I don't have a solution but surely it's just a question of installing the pip packages using the correct docker image. Did you try using public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.6? I mean like:

docker run -it --volume=$PWD:/temp public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.6 bash -c "pip install /temp --target=/temp/python-packages"

That image doesn't have the necessary toolchain.

What if you run the pip install using the lambci/lambda:build-python3.6 image? i.e.

docker run -it --volume=$PWD:/temp lambci/lambda:build-python3.6 bash -c "pip install /temp --target=/temp/python-packages"
