Cannot load PCRE

[wookieb]

Unfortunatelly I got this error when trying to use git in real AWS Lambda
/opt/bin/git: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre2-8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Runtime:
nodejs12.x

Used layer:
arn:aws:lambda:eu-central-1:553035198032:layer:git-lambda2:6

[mhart]

Are you using any other layers or modifying any environment variables?

[wookieb]

No sir :)

git-lambda2 is the only layer used

The only ENV variable I do set is "AWS_NODEJS_CONNECTION_REUSE_ENABLED=1"

[mhart]

How are you executing git? Is it just like in the README, or are you perhaps not inheriting env variables?

Can you add this to your lambda somewhere?

const { execSync } = require('child_process')
console.log(execSync('ls -l /opt/lib/libpcre2*', {encoding: 'utf8'}))
console.log(process.env.LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

[wookieb]

My friend. This is it! I was using simple-git and it didn't inherit env from process.
Adding git().env(process.env) helped!

Thank You so much! :)

[mhart]

Ah, you should've said! Ok, glad you solved the issue

[wookieb]

TBH I didn't even though that simple-git would omit ENV variables. For me it was obvious :/. Thank You for your quick help again!
