I am experiencing an issue with my AWS Lambda function where I'm unable to import the firebase_admin
module from a Lambda layer, despite the layer being correctly attached and the module being visibly present in the /opt
directory.
- I have created a Lambda layer that includes the
firebase_admin
module among others.
- The layer is attached to my Lambda function.
- I verified the contents of
/opt
directory using os.listdir('/opt')
in the Lambda function, and it lists firebase_admin
and its associated files.
- Despite this, the Lambda function fails to import the
firebase_admin
module with an ImportModuleError
.
Steps Taken:
- Created a Lambda layer with the necessary Python packages, including
firebase_admin
.
- Set correct file permissions (644 for files, 755 for directories) before zipping the layer.
- Uploaded the layer to AWS Lambda and attached it to the function.
- Verified the presence of the
firebase_admin
package in the /opt
directory through Lambda function logs.
- Tried explicitly adding
/opt/python
to sys.path
at the beginning of the Lambda function.
Error Encountered:
[ERROR] Runtime.ImportModuleError: Unable to import module 'app': No module named 'firebase_admin'
Are there any additional steps or configurations I might be missing?
I also tried resolution mentioned in https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/lambda-import-module-error-python. But I still get the same error.
