Hi everybody,

I've been trying to export my react-static bundled website on aws lambda but it seems i can't get it to work, so I really hope someone will be able to help me on this :) !

Here are the steps i tried :

• I followed the steps mentioned here to trigger a build/bundle/export but none seemed to work, even while testing locally. When I run await rs(), I get the following error on the console :

Cannot read property 'config' of undefined
  
  - getConfig.js:75 getConfig
    [client]/[react-static]/lib/static/getConfig.js:75:60
  
  - bundle.js:62 _callee$
    [client]/[react-static]/lib/commands/bundle.js:62:46
  
  - runtime.js:63 tryCatch
    [client]/[regenerator-runtime]/runtime.js:63:40
  
  - runtime.js:293 Generator.invoke [as _invoke]
    [client]/[regenerator-runtime]/runtime.js:293:22
  
  - runtime.js:118 Generator.next
    [client]/[regenerator-runtime]/runtime.js:118:21

...

Well, after this wondered if I could get it working while running the actual react-static command as such :

const exec = require("child_process").exec;
exec("./node_modules/react-static/bin/react-static build");

Running build, it worked, both locally and in the lambda function where I was able to upload the resulting tmp/dist directory on my s3 bucket, awesome.

But my aim is to only do react-static export on lambda, as I won't bundle the app much often.

Well, I first ran react-static bundle locally, then I tried the following :

exec("./node_modules/react-static/bin/react-static export");

It worked perfectly on my local machine, but it doesn't on lambda.

the error i'm getting in lambda's log is the following :

WARN	Error: Command failed: ./node_modules/react-static/bin/react-static export
Creating default 404 because none was found...

  cmd: './node_modules/react-static/bin/react-static export'
}

It seems that react-static isn't able to find '/tmp/artifacts/static-app.js'.

I'm aware that the local task directory in lambda is a read-only one, and that the only writable one is the /tmp directory. So i tried to copy the whole artifacts, dist, and tmp directories to /tmp, making sure that config.paths in static.config.js all point to the /tmp folder, but I still get the error...

I honestly ran out of ideas on how to solve this, that's why I came here !

So...

First, any ideas on why running await rs() (as in here) doesn't work as it seems to be the recommended way ?

And any ideas on why react-static isn's able to find find '/tmp/artifacts/static-app.js' ?

Thanks a lot for your help :)
