node:16-alpine with aws-lambda-ric docker build fails

[expertneo]

Dear Experts,

I would like to draw your attention to (or seek for help about) an issue we are having right now: Having "RUN npm i aws-lambda-ric" latest or anything down to 1.1.0 in Dockerfile would give the error below.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and regards, Ben

The workaround mentioned in https://github.com/aws/aws-lambda-nodejs-runtime-interface-client/issues/68#issuecomment-1571877109 worked for me.

[roshitho]

The workaround mentioned in #68 (comment) worked for me.

I tried the same but it gave me multiple errors (mainly something like below)

84.07 npm ERR! /app/node_modules/aws-lambda-ric/deps/aws-lambda-cpp-0.2.8/src/backward.h:1295:25: error: request for member 'dli_fname' in 'symbol_info', which is of non-class type 'int'

Dockerfile builder stage for me looks like below:

I have same issue with Could NOT find Backtrace (missing: Backtrace_LIBRARY Backtrace_INCLUDE_DIR)

[mjperrone]

This is affecting me as well, and the linked workaround is not working for me.. @andclt @briensea is this something you can help with or pull in the right parties?

Alpine is explicitly called out as being supported.

[ctrmmb]

Issue is affecting me as well. It seems libbacktrace has been made optional from aws-lambda-cpp 0.2.9 to solve this exact issue.
