Python Azure Function Unable to Import Local GSSDK Module from SAP/gigya-python-sdk

I am developing a Python Azure function and trying to use the Gigya SDK (found here: https://github.com/SAP/gigya-python-sdk) for authentication. However, I am running into an issue where my Azure Function cannot seem to find the GSSDK module when executing.

Here's the error I'm encountering:

Result: Failure Exception: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'GSSDK'. Please check the requirements.txt file for the missing module. For more info, please refer the troubleshooting guide: https://aka.ms/functions-modulenotfound Stack: File "/azure-functions-host/workers/python/3.x/LINUX/X64/azure_functions_worker/dispatcher.py", in _handle__function_load_request func = loader.load_function( File "/azure-functions-host/workers/python/3.x/LINUX/X64/azure_functions_worker/utils/wrappers.py", in call raise extend_exception_message(e, message) File "/azure-functions-host/workers/python/3.x/LINUX/X64/azure_functions_worker/utils/wrappers.py", in call return func(*args, **kwargs) File "/azure-functions-host/workers/python/3.x/LINUX/X64/azure_functions_worker

I've placed the GSSDK.py file in a local /lib directory along with my init.py file to mark it as a package. The directory structure looks like this:

/app  
   | \__inti_\_.py  
   | GSSDK.py

Here's the start of my init.py script for the Azure Function, where I've attempted to append the directory to sys.path and import the GSSDK module. It didn't work without the sys.path append either:

import azure.functions as func import json from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient import os import sys

sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(file)) from necessary_module import *

Even after these steps, the Azure function cannot locate the required module. The module is not available on PyPi, so it can't be added to requirements.txt.

Would appreciate any advice or guidance.

Solution

  • When I tried using your code to import GSSDK file as module, I received the same error code as yours:-

    enter image description here

    I tried the below code in my init.py to import GSSDK modules from the file and the Trigger ran successfully.

    My init.py:-

    import azure.functions as func

# import sys

# import os

import os
import sys

sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))
from GSSDK import *

def main(req: func.HttpRequest) -> func.HttpResponse:
    logging.info('Python HTTP trigger function processed a request.')

    name = req.params.get('name')
    if not name:
        try:
            req_body = req.get_json()
        except ValueError:
            pass
        else:
            name = req_body.get('name')

    if name:
        return func.HttpResponse(f"Hello, {name}. This HTTP triggered function executed successfully.")
    else:
        return func.HttpResponse(
             "This HTTP triggered function executed successfully. Pass a name in the query string or in the request body for a personalized response.",
             status_code=200
        )

    My GSSDK referred from here

    My requirements.txt:-

    azure-functions

    enter image description here

    enter image description here

    My Function Trigger File structure, init.py and GSSDK.py are in same HttpTrigger1 folder rest all the files are outside that folder in root folder, Refer below:-

    enter image description here

    I deployed this Function in Function app and it ran successfully there:-
