Plugin "@netlify/plugin-functions-core" internal error

Not sure if this is the right place for this. This is taken directly from the “netlify deploy logs”. I’m currently not able to deploy needed production changes.

After further research this seems to be an open issue for “Zip it and ship it”

Deploy failed due to an error in @netlify/plugin-functions-core plugin #205

thanks, dean. I’ll check i with Mickael in a few days if he doesn’t comment on the issue sooner so we can understand when this come through.

I have this issue too:

@perry I suspect this is actually pretty serious, since I think it might affect deployments across all Netlify.

– Edit: It appears to be related to @netlify/plugin-functions-core blowing up if there is a conditional dependency in the function

Of course, it could just be a me issue, but given that the error is being reported from inside a Netlify build process, I don’t think so

– Edit: given the above, it won’t affect all users

Point of reference: My lambda function contains no conditional dependency.

I was using node-fetch, which I had no idea did have a conditional dependency until I read about it in one of the issue comments. I replaced that with http.get and was able to deploy successfully

8

The simple function I wrote does not explicitly use node-fetch, but I see the build process creates a lambda that does.
I don’t think I can change that easily. A grep of the project shows a whole series of node_modules that use node-fetch.

After some research I realized the simple require in my (Netlify) function is for a 3rd party library that DOES include node-fetch. For that library, node-fetch is its only dependency. I REALLY don’t want to try taking on modifying that library.

10

Yeah. I debated with myself: spend the money to fix it, or wait for Netlify to fix it. Decided I had more money than time in this situation

11

I’ve got other rabbit holes needing attention, but this one is making my client unhappy.

I don’t know if this would help you or maybe someone else who finds this thread, but this is the code that I used to replace node-fetch. It’s in TypeScript.

`apiPromise( ).then(data => doStuffWith(data))

Might save some time.

Anything new on this? Still unable to build.

14

Something changed in the Netlify build process that now requires an additional package that was not previously required.
I got this to work with the addition of the “encoding” package (that I’d never heard of). I don’t know what changed that introduced this new requirement; all I know is by adding it to my packages.json I was able to get a build done on Netlify.

15

Hi, the ‘encoding’ package is a dependency of ‘node-fetch’ and has caused that error ‘on and off’ for a while now. Can you take a look at my suggestion here: Deploy failed due to an error in @netlify/plugin-functions-core plugin - #6 by Dennis and see if that works for you as well? At the very least, you won’t need to have a dependency’s dependency in your package.json file.

16

I don’t use node-fetch, but a package I use does. In the meantime, my project requirements have changed and I no longer need that package so the issue becomes moot.
Thanks for your response.
