Unable to run openssl via child_process call in Node.js 10x

Question

I am trying to call openssl from my lambda function but am getting the following error:  
Command failed: openssl: command not found  
  
openssl is part of Amazon Linux so I'm not sure why this isn't working (I confirmed this works with Python 3.7 environment).  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  
  
Here is a sample of my code:  
  
const exec = require('child_process').exec  
const fs = require("fs")  
exports.handler = async function (event, context, callback) {  
    exec('openssl help', (error, stdout, stderr) => {  
        if (error) {  
            throw error  
        }  
      callback(null, "success")  
    })  
}

Accepted Answer

For anybody having this same issue, openssl wasn't present in the Node.js container. We switched to Python, which had openssl.

Hello,  
	Yes, I have tested OpenSSL 1.0.2k, in nodejs12.x lambda runtime with custom layer codebase, it's working fine.  
  
	Here, the link I follow, to add a custom layer to lambda.

	If you want to upgrade the OpenSSL version anyhow, then you should refer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36468984/aws-lambda-python-libssl-c-library - I have also tested his, it's works well.
