Question
What is the correct structure for the build file in the lib folder of a serverless function?

Asked by Peter Aling
I have been implementing serverless functions (python) and would like to implement multiple packages under one app. Each of these functions require access to a separate toolset (toolset.py) which I’ve placed in the lib folder. Since the toolset requires additional python libraries (psycopg2), I’ve created a requirements.txt file within the lib folder and an associated build.sh file.
I have followed the same build.sh structure in the tutorials but on compilation, I receive the following error:
╭──────────── project build ───────────╼
│ Started running ./build.sh in /.app_platform_workspace/lib
│ ./build.sh: line 5: virtualenv: command not found
│
│ › Error: './build.sh' exited with code 127
The code is hosted on Github and remote builds are triggered on repo updates.
What is the correct structure for the build.sh file in the lib folder?

Hi there,
The contents of the
libfolder and the contents of each function’s directory affect what is included in each deployed function and how that function is built.Here is also an example project that might help:
https://github.com/digitalocean/sample-functions-todo/tree/main
The structure is more or less just the
build.shfile and your library.Here is also another example on how this is implemented:
https://github.com/digitalocean/functions-deployer/tree/main/e2e/use-lib/lib
The above is from an end-to-end test and includes a simple use of the
libdirectory and abuild.shfile.If your serverless function repository is public, feel free to share it here and I will be happy to take a further look at why the builds might be failing.
Best,
Bobby
