Maximum recursion depth exceeded when running chalice deploy

[twslankard]

Hey all,

I'm working on deployment for a my new Chalice-based project (using version 1.0.2.)

When I run chalice deploy I get the error maximum recursion depth exceeded with no stack trace. After running the debugger, I was able to narrow down the problem to Chalice's AST traversal code. From there, I created a reduction using my app.py. Given this, it appears as though the AST traversal code does not tolerate recursion.

Here's the reduced app.py. If I remove the recursive function, then chalice deploy appears to work as expected.

from chalice import Chalice

app = Chalice(app_name='recursion')
app.debug = True


def recursive_function(obj):
    if False:
        recursive_function(obj)


@app.route('/')
def index():
    recursive_function({})
    return {}

I discovered something interesting: apparently, recursive functions are okay if they're not in app.py. I'm looking into this further.

Thanks for reporting this. It works for recursion in app.py since the analyzer currently only explores app.py.
