Photon facade with netlify

[divyenduz]

Reproduction repository: https://github.com/divyendu-test/photonjs-324

Deploying a function with the following generator configuration on netlify fails with the following error

Config:

generator photon {
  provider = "photonjs"
}

Error:

Error: 
Invalid `photon.()` invocation in /var/task/hello-facade.js:8:37



Photon binary for current platform rhel-openssl-1.0.x could not be found.
Photon looked in null but couldn't find it.
Make sure to adjust the generator configuration in the schema.prisma file:
generator photon {
  provider      = "photonjs"
  binaryTargets = ["native"]
}
Please run prisma2 generate for your changes to take effect.
Note, that by providing `native`, Photon automatically resolves `rhel-openssl-1.0.x`.

Unique deployment link with this error: https://5dee48f3f80a08893213d0b7--p2-netlify-facade.netlify.com/.netlify/functions/hello-facade

Note: The suggestion in the error looks incomplete, when seen in production.

I changed it to the following config, ran prisma2 generate and re-deployed, to match the binary being detected by Photon:

Config:

generator photon {
  provider = "photonjs"
  binaryTargets = ["native", "rhel-openssl-1.0.x"]
}

But it still fails as if the binary is not there and the error message is a bit weird too, as it lists a thing that is already there.

Note: All of this was with a global version of prisma2 CLI.

Trying it with a local version of prisma2 CLI now, same result.

Note that for both local, global CLI, it does list that it is downloading the listed rhel binary.

I have a hunch that zip-it-and-ship-it might be dropping the binaries because size or something.

[kripod]

@divyenduz As for the size issue, zip-it-and-ship-it@v0.4.0-8 has a fix exclusively for prisma2.

[timsuchanek]

I created an issue in zip-it-and-ship-it regarding the binary packaging. netlify/zip-it-and-ship-it#77

@kripod could you already get Photon.js running on Netlify? The current stable version is at least not working, but the beta might.

[kripod]

@timsuchanek Yes, please check out kripod/exigo. You may want to see the server directory and migrate to a remote SQL DB (replacing SQLite) to avoid hitting the read-only file system bottleneck on AWS Lambda.

[timsuchanek]

@kripod are you part of the build beta? When using the build beta, it now works perfectly fine with the new version of zip-it-and-ship-it. However, the mechanism of pinning zip-it-and-ship-it as you did in exigo didn't work for me.

[kripod]

@timsuchanek Pinning the package version worked for me even before participating Build Beta.

[timsuchanek]

Interesting, good to know. The important message here is that it's fixed in the latest version of Netlifys build system anyway so I close this here :)

Now it's time to finally merge your PR ;)

How do make it work Netlify?

I've added

    "zip-it-and-ship-it": "netlify/zip-it-and-ship-it#v0.4.0-8"

to my package.json. That seems to install.

With binaryTargets = ["native", "rhel-openssl-1.0.x"] . I get

12:42:30 PM:     To fix it, use this generator config in your schema.prisma:

Note that it works with the GH integration but not with the netlify build command yet.
