Runtime.ExitError AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'next'

This is happening to me with the python:3.9-alpine3.12 base image. Here is the Dockerfile:

ARG build_info="head@now"
ARG build_env="development"

ENV BUILD_INFO=${build_info}

Here's the entry.sh:

Just to make sure, I ran docker exec -it mycontainer /bin/bash and typed /usr/local/bin/python --version, the response was Python 3.9.1

Figured it out, it's because I'm installing libstdc++ as a build library and then uninstalling it after the build completes. It needs to stay installed, so changing the first apk-add bit to this works:

RUN apk add --no-cache \
    libstdc++ \
    libpq \
    && apk add --no-cache --virtual .build-deps \
    autoconf \
    automake \
    build-base \
    cmake \
    libcurl \
    libexecinfo-dev \
    libtool \
    make \
    musl-dev \
    postgresql-dev \
    python3-dev \
    && pip install --no-cache-dir -e . \
    && apk del --no-cache .build-deps

By the way, I was able to find out why it wasn't working by looking at the code, specifically this line: https://github.com/aws/aws-lambda-python-runtime-interface-client/blob/main/awslambdaric/lambda_runtime_client.py#L31

try:
    import runtime_client

    runtime_client.initialize_client(_user_agent())
except ImportError:
    runtime_client = None   # THIS LINE HERE

Then, I just opened a python shell and typed import runtime_client

I don't know that it's good that it just silently fails on the import there. Is there a reason to believe the library can work when runtime_client is None?

I've had the same issue, but with python:3.8-alpine. It seems like there are a LOT of assumptions (see also the documentation issue I opened, #24 ) about the container being perfectly set up... when there's little documentation on how to actually do that.

@synic

I had the same issue and had to do the same step as @synic to figure out the cause. In my case, the missing dependency was resolved by installing curl. I would remove except ImportError clause or at least document which dependencies are required by awslambdaric to be installed.

This worked for me.

aws#22 - Improving logging.

For me it was libzstd.so missing (FROM python:3.12-alpine3.19). I just added to my the following to the final stage of my docker multi-stage build.

RUN apk add --no-cache zstd-dev

This was a really annoying issue, and there was no way to identify the cause without additional logging. I have opened a PR and am waiting for guidance about the proper way to log this.

Here's the full Dockerfile if interested:

FROM python:3.12-alpine3.19 as base
ARG FUNCTION_DIR="/app"
WORKDIR ${FUNCTION_DIR}

FROM base as builder
RUN apk update && \
      apk add --no-cache \
        cmake \
        autoconf \
        automake \
        libtool \
        binutils \
        gcc \
        libc-dev \
        make \
        elfutils-dev \
        g++

COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install \
      --target ${FUNCTION_DIR} --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY app.py .
COPY --chmod=755 entrypoint.sh .
RUN rm requirements.txt

FROM base as final
RUN apk add --no-cache zstd-dev
COPY --from=builder ${FUNCTION_DIR} ${FUNCTION_DIR}
EXPOSE 3000

ENTRYPOINT ["/app/entrypoint.sh"]

Hey, I was able to build a working image by installing thesse deps on the runtime stage: libstdc++ nghttp2-libs libidn2 libpsl zstd-libs brotli-libs

Closing this for now as a workaround has been found + python3.9 is now deprecated
