Python lambda function created inside a queue does not install requirements.txt file

[Pixcell]

Hello,

Using lift queue construct, the created lambda does not include dependencies defined inside a requirements.txt file that can be found at the root of the folder containing the handler.

Folder struct:

src/
  artefacts/
     exporter/
        handler.py
        ....
        requirements.txt

serverless definition:

plugins:
  - serverless-python-requirements
  - serverless-prune-plugin
  - serverless-lift
 
 ....
 
constructs:
  rqd-export-artefacts:
    type: queue
    maxConcurrency: 5
    worker:
      role: ArtefactExporterRole
      handler: src/artefact/exporter/handler.handle
      timeout: 600
      environment:
        ...
    batchSize: 10

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I tried using layers, but I must be doing something wrong because the layer wont package with the error

Hi, could it be that the python plugin runs after Lift declares the "worker" function? (and so the Python plugin doesn't detect the worker function)
