I'm using laravel 8 and bref to deploy it on lambda. After making a cron job function to send email. When I deploy it, there's a problem with the facade
{
"errorType": "RuntimeException",
"errorMessage": "A facade root has not been set.",
"stackTrace": [
"#0 /var/task/app/functions/sendTestMail.php(11): Illuminate\\Support\\Facades\\Facade::__callStatic()",
"#1 /var/task/vendor/bref/bref/src/Runtime/Invoker.php(34): Bref\\Runtime\\FileHandlerLocator->App\\Functions\\{closure}()",
"#2 /var/task/vendor/bref/bref/src/Runtime/LambdaRuntime.php(102): Bref\\Runtime\\Invoker->invoke()",
"#3 /opt/bref/bootstrap.php(43): Bref\\Runtime\\LambdaRuntime->processNextEvent()",
"#4 {main}"
]
}
here is my directory structure and the function: sendTestMail.php
serverless.yml:
service: test
provider:
name: aws
# The AWS region in which to deploy (us-east-1 is the default)
region: ap-southeast-1
# The stage of the application, e.g. dev, production, staging… ('dev' is the default)
stage: dev
runtime: provided.al2
package:
# Directories to exclude from deployment
exclude:
- node_modules/**
- public/storage
- resources/assets/**
- storage/**
- tests/**
functions:
# This function runs the Laravel website/API
web:
handler: public/index.php
timeout: 28 # in seconds (API Gateway has a timeout of 29 seconds)
layers:
- ${bref:layer.php-80-fpm}
events:
- httpApi: "*"
# This function lets us run artisan commands in Lambda
artisan:
handler: artisan
timeout: 120 # in seconds
layers:
- ${bref:layer.php-80} # PHP
- ${bref:layer.console} # The "console" layer
cron:
handler: app/functions/sendTestMail.php
layers:
- ${bref:layer.php-80}
events:
- schedule: rate(5 minutes)
plugins:
# We need to include the Bref plugin
- ./vendor/bref/bref
Anyone know how to resolve this issue? And btw, how can I test a handler function on my local machine before deploying? Thank you
I believe this is due to the issue that in your web function the handler is public/index.php. This properly initializes the Laravel application. Your cron functions handler is app/functions/sendTestMail.php so index.php never gets called and the Laravel kernel never handles the request.
I don't have a great solution at the moment because I feel like it is breaking a lot of best practices and rules in Laravel and want to experiment more with it. But I was able to take the entire index.php content and pasted it above my return function in the file that Lambda was calling.
So in other words I think if you paste this
use Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Task;
define('LARAVEL_START', microtime(true));
if (file_exists(__DIR__.'/storage/framework/maintenance.php')) {
require __DIR__.'/storage/framework/maintenance.php';
}
require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php';
$kernel = $app->make(Kernel::class);
$response = tap($kernel->handle(
$request = Request::capture()
))->send();
$kernel->terminate($request, $response);
As the first thing in your app/functions/sendTestMail.php file, it will likely work. Depending on what you have coded in your Middleware as that will run first.
This worked for me in my application.
