TL;DR How do I install AWS X-Ray sdk, because the pip install doesn't seem to get the full package
Hello Folks,
I'm working on trying out AWS X-Ray for my Python lambda. I know the library is large, but I wanted to get a POC before putting it into a layer. The issue is that when I install it, it doesn't seem to get installed.
When I run pip install -r requirements.txt I see that it installs two packages, aws_xray_sdk and aws_xray_sdk-2.9.0.dist-info. When I look into these packages I see that they are 740 kilobytes altogether (makes me think this is a stub of some sort)
When I upload my lambda and test it, I get the following error even though the directories are in my venv:
[ERROR] Runtime.ImportModuleError: Unable to import module 'users/main': No module named 'aws_xray_sdk' Traceback (most recent call last):
Any help is greatly appreciated.
The issue was that I was not putting my dependencies in the root of my .zip file as the docs clearly show ='(
4. Create a deployment package with the installed libraries at the root.
