Runtime.ImportModuleError in Serverless Function

Hello,
I am trying to use serverless functions to autogenerate some certificate images. I have run into the following error:

    {
  "errorType": "Runtime.ImportModuleError",
  "errorMessage": "Error: Cannot find module '@sendgrid/mail'\nRequire stack:\n- /var/task/src/helpers/generateCertificate.js\n- /var/task/src/sendCertificates.js\n- /var/task/sendCertificates.js\n- /var/runtime/UserFunction.js\n- /var/runtime/index.js",
  "trace": [
    "Runtime.ImportModuleError: Error: Cannot find module '@sendgrid/mail'",
    "Require stack:",
    "- /var/task/src/helpers/generateCertificate.js",
    "- /var/task/src/sendCertificates.js",
    "- /var/task/sendCertificates.js",
    "- /var/runtime/UserFunction.js",
    "- /var/runtime/index.js",
    "    at _loadUserApp (/var/runtime/UserFunction.js:100:13)",
    "    at Object.module.exports.load (/var/runtime/UserFunction.js:140:17)",
    "    at Object.<anonymous> (/var/runtime/index.js:43:30)",
    "    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1015:30)",
    "    at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1035:10)",
    "    at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:879:32)",
    "    at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:724:14)",
    "    at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (internal/modules/run_main.js:60:12)",
    "    at internal/main/run_main_module.js:17:47"
  ]
}

The reason this bug is so strange is that in another serverless function (under the same site name) I have used the sendgrid module with no issues, how can it stop recognizing it in one function and not the other?

Here is how I am requiring the modules in the working function:

        const sgMail = require("@sendgrid/mail");
        var moment = require('moment-timezone');
        const getRegistrations = require('./getRegistrations');
        const formattedReturn = require('./formattedReturn');
        const formattedError = require('./formattedError');

Here is how I am requiring the code in the function that is not working:

    const sgMail = require("@sendgrid/mail");
    var moment = require("moment-timezone");
    const formattedReturn = require('./formattedReturn');
    const getRegistrations = require("./getRegistrations");
    const { createCanvas, loadImage } = require("canvas");
    require("dotenv").config();

The issue isn’t just for sendgrid, however, it is any of those modules that I decide to place at the top of the code (canvas, dotenv, moment-timezone).

Here is the package.json file:

Solutions that I have attempted and that have not worked:

  • Deleting node_modules from the repo
  • Adding .default at the end of all the requires (require(“canvas”).default)
  • Using CI= npm install as the build command

Any help would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Hey there,
Apologies for the slow response here. That’s very mysterious! I’m wondering if there’s a syntax error somewhere else in the file that’s causing that? Aside from that, I guess there could be a function bundling issue, but I don’t know why one function would be bundled differently from the other…

Are you still running into this? When I check your site, I’m not seeing a function with that name, so if its name has changed please let us know so we can dig in.

Hey Jen,
Sorry for the late reply but we’ve scrapped this feature so I no longer need help with the issue, thanks anyway! Just a quick follow-up question, is there any way to delete or edit this post? It seems that I am unable to and I’m unsure why (just want to get rid of the link).

Thanks in advance

Hey @lingat917,
No worries, I just removed the link!

And as you spend more time in the forum responding to people and creating posts, our system will grant you more permissions like editing- but for now, our team will have to take care of that kind of thing for you.

@jen This is exactly an issue i currently have using googleapis package. I don’t think i’ve seen a solution yet.
