requirements.txt file not found

[garrypassarellainfluencer]

I'm trying to build this using the deploy.sh file, but when I run it I get the following error

requirements.txt file not found. Continuing the build without dependencies.

Once the lambda deploys it produces errors because the deps are not found.

Any ideas? I'm on a M3 Macbook and using Python 3.9.

Hi @garrypassarellainfluencer,

That error does not constitute to complete build error. All the necessary Python dependencies are built in the Lambda layer instead in the layer directory.

The line Continuing the build without dependencies. actually indicates this is not a critical error and build should proceed. But if you do want to supress it, you can create an empty requirements.txt file in ./function directory.

If you don't mind, you can share the full build logs here while redact necessary information.

By the way, I created a new repo with similar feature to this repos' application trying to use better AWS-native technologies, but it may require more AWS experience.

I was able to solve my issue by setting up a virtual environment (I don't use Python that often, so I don't know if not doing this was just down to my ignorance or something worth documenting).

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

I also had to pin some dependencies in requirements.txt to solve a weird issue where it would throw numpy.dtype size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility. Expected 96 from C header, got 88 from PyObject errors

pandas==2.0.1
numpy==1.24.3

After this everything worked smoothly :-)
