Function size > 50 Mb... but can't figure out why?

Also, I did manage to get the test-build docker image working, and THAT works too.

I’d be surprised if it did because I just checked this and it looks like you’re facing this exact problem:

Functions failing to deploy despite local bundle being smaller than 50mb

I just checked it and built it locally using netlify-cli on Ubuntu and this is what I got: [image] So yes, when building on Linux, the size is going over 50 MB probably because of the native dependencies that CLI warned about before.

I tested on maOS, the Function zip was about 16 MB. I then tested on an Ubuntu machine, the zip turned out to be 55 MB. I then added:

[functions]
    included_files = ["!./node_modules/chart.js/dist/docs/**"]

inside the netlify.toml and that did bring the size down to 52.4 MB, but that’s still over the limit.

Apparently, platform-specific dependencies are taking up space in this function.

Here’s the screenshot from the Ubuntu VM:

and here’s the screenshot that shows that the docs directory is missing in the zip:

Note that, I’m not even using the Netlify build image at this point, testing in a vanilla Ubuntu 22.04 installation (with Git and Node installed). Since this is happening outside of Netlify, there’s not a lot we can do about it.
