Hi,

I start getting the following error while using netlify function:

However if tested locally with netlify dev, the error does not happen and everything is working as expected.

More info how things are coded and configured:

  • netlify.toml
  • functions/colab.js

Code:

Deployment:

Any hints please
Thanks !

Hi @vfdev-5,

Thanks for reaching out!

I found this Netlify Forum post that has two possible solutions. The error in the post is similar, does either solution work for you?

Thanks for the links @Melvin
Second solution of using node_bundler = “esbuild” is already done in my case.
And about the path and including files, as octokit is a node module and not our local file, I think it may be not applicable…

hmm can I ask what else you’ve tried?

Well, a lot of various things.

Here is a minimal repro repository:

Clicking on “Run custom function as netlify” will result to a similar issue:

 Runtime.ImportModuleError - Error: Cannot find module '@octokit/core' Require stack: - /var/task/functions/func1.js - /var/task/func1.js - /var/runtime/index.mjs

However, we can run the same code on the frontend without issues…

I deployed your code and it appears to work: https://f-85329.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/func1

Thanks @hrishikesh for your answer and the code changes. I asked few questions in the code about the change. I could update main project with your suggestions and it works now. Thanks!
