I am pretty new to aws amplify and have an amplify app that has a backend lambda function which uses sharp as a dependency. When I push to git to trigger a deploy, my build is failing I think due to vips/vips8 a sharp dependency not being found.
Relevant log

Running amplify push from my windows box packages up the lambda and deploys it working totally fine, the problem is only when it pulls from github and tries to run through the amplify build platform. I am running node v 16
Thanks for any ideas! My google-foo is failing me this time.
I have the exact same issue. To make it work on lambda with amplify push, I had to run the following in the backend/function/function_name/src folder npm install --arch=x64 --platform=linux sharp. But when pushing to git, the triggered deployment fails the same way.
Edit
Solved First I tried installing install vips with yum in the prebuild stage (reference). But I got a new error:
[0m/usr/local/include/vips/vips8:35:10: fatal error: glib-object.h: No such file or directory[0m
[0m #include <glib-object.h>[0m
[0m ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[0m
[0mcompilation terminated.[0m
So then I tried downloading, make and install vips from the git source (reference). Was still getting the same error. But after installing gtk-doc it worked... almost. The build did not fail, but the lambda function did not work because sharp was not found, there's a fix on the sharp docs(reference). So I add a script in the package.json. Here's the code used
Build file amplify.yml
version: 1
backend:
phases:
preBuild:
commands:
- '# Install gtk-doc; download, make and install vips'
- yum -y install gtk-doc
- wget https://github.com/libvips/libvips/releases/download/v8.12.2/vips-8.12.2.tar.gz
- tar -xzvf vips-8.12.2.tar.gz
- cd vips-8.12.2
- ./configure
- make
- make install
- cd ..
build:
commands:
- '# Execute Amplify CLI with the helper script'
- amplifyPush --simple
frontend:
phases:
preBuild:
commands:
- npm ci
build:
commands:
- npm run build
artifacts:
baseDirectory: .next
files:
- '**/*'
cache:
paths:
- node_modules/**/*
package.json
"scripts": {
"amplify:<LambdaFunctionName>": "cd amplify/backend/function/<LambdaFunctionName>/src && npm install && rm -rf node_modules/sharp && SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=1 npm install --arch=x64 --platform=linux --libc=glibc sharp && cd -"
},
After like 15+ failed builds, it finally worked!!! Hope this helps, Happy coding!
