hi all. i’m combining SEED, SST, and sharp: an unholy trifecta (no shade against SST or SEED, sharp makes everything it touches unholy). for SST, i added the

layers/sharp

directory and extracted this zip file into it: https://github.com/Umkus/lambda-layer-sharp/releases as described here https://serverless-stack.com/examples/how-to-automatically-resize-images-with-serverless.html local deployment works, but SEED deployment fails since

layers/sharp/nodejs/node_modules

isn’t committed to git. should i solve this by having a SEED

before_compile

step where i download and extract that zip file?

We do it with

const sharpLayer = new LayerVersion(ctx.stack, 'SharpLayer', {
  code: Code.fromAsset('layers/sharp'),
  compatibleRuntimes: [Runtime.NODEJS_14_X, Runtime.NODEJS_16_X],
});

and the layers/sharp folder looks like this:

thanks @Ross Coundon. my configuration is identical. the issue is with deploying to SEED — the node_modules within layers/sharp directory isn’t in git, so the files aren’t found during deployment.

Ah, we do commit it to git

maybe i’ll just keep doing that then
