👋 My colleague is having problems with

pdfkit

library and esbuild - has anyone had similar problems and solution for this? Thanks!

`Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/.../pms-integrations-v2/services/hsk/.build/src/cron/data.trie'

How're you bundling pdfkit? Have you tried adding it to the nodeModules property of the bundle to remove it from esbuild bundling and force its install?

He just texted me this, the nodeModules approach seems to work! “Both approaches work! 

pdfmake

 and 

chrome-aws-lambda

  with 

puppeteer

 . Issue with both was that I was trying to have code in packages/common, once I moved pdf generator service to services/hsk it worked. The second one also required adding 

chrome-aws-lambda

  to bundle externalModules and  

'arn:aws:lambda:eu-central-1:764866452798:layer:chrome-aws-lambda:25'

 to layers. I will go with pdfmake since we already have it in other project. (edited)”

Thanks @Ross Coundon!

Oh yeah thanks @Ross Coundon, cant believe I forgot to say it :)))

Don't worry, I got a thanks from your excited tone 😄

I remember well your name and your 2 accounts! If you remember I had issue with aws-sdk and it being not found in lambda after set in externalModules in the Serverless Community slack! The issue was actuallly that I had

NODE_PATH=./src

somehow set in env which was messing things up! 😄

I've had something similar happen to me before where a rather hungry env var set up script was copying NODE_ENV values into a lambda and confusing the hell out of me

It was pissing me off few weeks until I finally set and went through each line/env and realized this thing existing and being only difference between 2 projects 😄

Hi @Branko Gvoka @Ross Coundon @Frank, I faced similar issue with

pdfmake

but I am not sure how to do @Ross Coundon’s suggestion to bundle it and add it to nodeModules property. Is it using

serverless-bundle

from the this link?

Are you using SST? If so, it's called nodeModules in the bundle property of the Function Props, or alternatively via defaultFunctionProps

@Ross Coundon Thank you very much. That works! 🙇 🎉

Great stuff 👍🏻
